The perfect use of Kindle output.  You can see how it originated, someone saying "That's a great story, you should tell it" and the Kindle format is the perfect vehicle.This is the story of an overweight middle-aged woman who, almost on a whim, decides to join the Police Academy.  This is the story of her training and her test of character, fitness and determination.  The experience resonated with me because I, many many years ago, went through cadet training with the London Metropolitan Police and I recall how tough it was.  For an overweight middle aged woman I can just imagine how much it would have taken to go through a similar experience, with firearms training added in.So, recounted from memory and the help of the e-mails she sent home, this is quite a life affirming tale and you have to admire the author's quiet determination and guts.  The training certainly sounded very tough and the dropout rate was considerable, especially when the training instructors had strong views on whether the author was made of the `right stuff' or not.So a quick and easy read, but you will end up admiring the author and wanting to know what happened next......
