In BEHIND AND BEYOND THE BADGE, Volume 2, award-winning author Donna Brown takes you to those places that few see. First responders have opened their hearts and shared what it's truly like to do their jobs, their favorite parts of the job and their worst, and the impact it has on their families. They are human just like you, and each faces all that life has to offer, good and bad.

The difference between their jobs and most other professions is that a first responder might not come home from work at the end of the day, a hard reality their families face. Each has lost a coworker who died in the line of duty, someone who many have also been a friend, or even a family member, because while others run from danger, they run to it. They do this for you.

So now, open the cover, and meet some of these amazing people
