This book (and her second book) is so full of love and self-compassion. I really mean it when I say everyone should read it. It's a reminder that you are powerful and you can in fact solve any problem or issue in your life. You know the answer. You just need to learn to trust and listen to yourself again. And this book will help you do this.
Defeated by Justice contains all the elements that an avid reader expects from an enjoyable and memorable book. Apart from the interesting and unique backdrop, the South African Police Force in 80's and 90's South Africa, the perspective of a female at this historic time in a male-dominated environment adds to the continuously building suspense and story evolvement. The writing is sharp and witty throughout and the drama of the main character development is believable, frustrating and sad at the same time. Carefully researched and craftily written, it will exhaust, yet revitalize any reader, as any successful creative roller-coaster should do! Compelling must-read, definite repeat-read!
