Gary and I were cops together many lifetimes ago. In this courageous telling of his painful journey I’m thrilled today he’s alive and full of purpose to help others find healing for the moral trauma they suffered.
Hauntingly riveting.
Brutally honest, from the soul of a survivor.
Gary Rubie was a cops cop. He’s a survivor. He takes the lid off the Pandora’s box of policing and allows us to peek inside.
Gary took the road less travelled by; he found the truth & shared it with us – It was an honour to read his book.
The rawest level of self reflection and honesty. An amazing journey from childhood innocence, into the ashes of hell and onto the road to redemption. A powerful message of courage, strength and hope.
An intensely evocative, heart wrenching, profoundly courageous act of self revealing. This book pulls no punches, inviting us to sit in the liberating discomfort of another’s truth.
The only way people can find and walk the path to unconditional love and self healing is through complete transparency. First with themselves, then with others. Gary has courageously walked himself through this process.
