According to the book description of  9 LIVES OF BADGE 656: A Policeman's Memoir,  "Ambushed, shot at, stabbed in the back. Could all the times he cheated death have a meaning, a message, and a purpose? 9 Lives of Badge 656 is a truthful account of one Los Angeles Policeman’s time in uniform during the turbulent 1970s. Follow Officer Brunelle on this often harrowing, often humorous journey that begins with the simple question, “Why did I become a cop?”

From day one at the academy, to his first assignment with racist cops, to surviving a shootout and countless run-ins with notorious gangs, this memorable memoir takes the reader behind the scenes on an unforgettable tour of duty with the LAPD. So, what problems could an antiracist cop run into?

This true crime novel seems to be taken right out of today’s headlines, but gives an honest, historic account of what being a street cop was like back in the day."

According to the book description of Miracle at del Norte, "Narrowly escaping Desert Storm with his life, Corporal Rob Jacobs returns to southern California to his pregnant wife, Jenny, with a severely injured leg and a growing addiction to pain killers. Unable to find adequate work or acceptable pain management, Rob becomes increasingly depressed and slides deeper into addiction. Though once a hard-working, faithful, Christian husband, Rob abandons his faith and his wife as his addictions spiral out of control, ultimately leading to his incarceration. While in prison, Rob rediscovers his faith in God and repents, hoping to find restoration in Christ, but his young faith is quickly put to the test by divorce, vengeance, and AIDS."
