About this ebook

Claudine Barbot has been writing poetry nearly all of her life. When her former husband joined the police force in 2005, it was no surprise that she began detailing various aspects of the job in her poetry. From this was born "From an Officer's Wife," which discusses the joys, challenges, and encounters of police officers and their families on a day to day basis. In this heartfelt book, she recounts the typical experiences of a police officer through her own eyes. She approaches the book with various elements, taking into account common reactions from citizens, officers, their families, and those who make the decisions as well. She also taps into her life with her former husband, as she opens up from a wife's perspective, reliving her fears, violent encounters, and the ruins that she and her family faced as a result of the experiences that he encountered on the job. From an Officers Wife tackles a wide range of topics often left untouched or swept under the rug in the police community, soliciting a variety of emotions from pain, anger, happiness, fear, and sadness. This book will touch the hearts of many and has something for anyone who has ever had a personal relationship with a law enforcement officer.

About the author

Claudine Barbot, a graduate of Bowie State University, has been writing for about 18 years. Although she holds a Bachelor of Science in Sociology and Criminal Justice, writing has always been her number one passion. She loves to write all genres, most specifically romance, fantasy, and fiction. However, poetry is dearest to her heart. She began writing as a mere hobby, but somewhere along the way, it developed into an intense need and passion. In her very limited free time, she likes to mastermind works of art and finds herself always brainstorming her next project. She derives her inspiration from life in general, be it her children, nature, an emotional experience, or just every day occurrences. In light of this, she gives full credit to God. With Him all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). Currently, she has several completed manuscripts; one of which will be released later this year as well. When she is not writing, she is teaching full time. She has been in the field of education for seven years and has had the pleasure of working with children from pre-k to sixth grade. Outside of work and writing, she is a full time mother to three beautiful children. "From an Officer's Wife" will be her first release.
