Becoming Fire: Chasing the Passion to Protect, Serve, and Love: A True Crime Memoir

Jennifer Clarke Eskew

SHE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST. SHE WAS BORN FOR THIS. AND SHE DID MORE THAN SURVIVE-SHE MADE HISTORY. JENNIFER CLARKE ESKEW always felt a spark within her-a calling to serve and protect. When she steps into the all-male world of the Virginia State Police, she faces grueling challenges at the academy before earning her badge that ignites her spark for law enforcement. Determined to prove herself as one of the first female troopers in Virginia, she faces rookie mistakes and high-stake decisions. But her biggest challenge lays ahead. Chosen as the first full-time female undercover state police officer, Jennifer finds herself immersed in a world of drug dealers, gun traffickers, and the resultant adrenaline rushes that come from the danger. In the midst, she wonders where the act ends and Jennifer begins. With her fire burning stronger than ever, she continues to fan the flames and chase her passions to fulfill the ultimate purpose in her chosen career. You'll laugh, you'll cry, but you won't forget this true story of grit, courage, and a woman who refused to be extinguished.
