  1. Hi Shelly,
    Calgary, Alberta has another murder related to domestic violence!

We need to have legislation that will work to keep women and children safe! take care Holly Desimone

  2. Hi Holly--We have tons of laws onthe books here in the US--but many police officers don't really understand them. When an officer will ignore the fact that my husband handed me a gun and tells me to "hide it" and they say I have no right to protection because he didn't "do" anything, something is wrong. --then that same department threatened to investigate me because my husband made a bogus claim that I stole his car keys--what is going on?

    Book Description (formally called "Annotation"):

    Take a look behind the doors of the law and discover truth. The pages of DOORS will
    take you on a journey through the process of the law, and although we have the best
    legal system in the world, our system of justice remains fallible. Find out with the
    protagonist of our story that sometimes, if one is very lucky, right can prevail over wrong,
    especially if you have an attorney who isn't blind as to what can be and is willing to hop
    into a politically incorrect and unpopular mire.
