Summary: a readable useful book
Comment: For COPS DON'T CRY, Canadian Vali Stone conducted interviews from which she has quoted extensively & surveys & added them to her own personal experience within the distinctive lifestyle of the police community, to bring together her information & insights into how to sustain a supportive & enduring marriage & family life.

Vali Stone makes no bones about it: When your spouse is presenting symptoms of job-related stress, she repeatedly urges you to get help immediately, as she did. Doing nothing about it will not make it "go away" & will, ultimately, ensure defeat of your marriage.

COPS DON'T CRY is a serious & good book, no matter which profession you or your spouse is in. Listening to what spouses have said about being married to a policeman, is both engaging & eye-opening. It is a look at how couples live together, through better or worse, & what those old-fashioned attributes such as loyalty, compassion, & living a public life can be.

Well done! Highly recommended.

Summary: Helps out
Comment: Maybe there's a little too much whine in the sauce with this book, how would I know? My wife and me, we read it together as part of a family support class. She liked some of it and we talked over a few things. You're on the job and want your marriage to work, maybe this book won't be so bad.

Rating: 1
Summary: Not what I expected
Comment: This book is not what I expected. It is basically two hundred pages of a police officer's wife complaining about being a police officer's wife. Now, certainly, venting one's stress is important, and perhaps sharing one's feelings with others in the same situation has some degree of merit. However, the book claimed to be "a book of help and hope for police families." Well, I guess my main point is I didn't find too much help and hope. I felt like the book offered very little insight and the author dwelled on her complaints about her life.
