Raised by a counter-culture tribe in summer of love Haight-Ashbury, she was taught to despise “The Man.” But when the San Francisco Police Department was forced by court order to hire women, she found herself compelled to prove to the world that women could cut it as cops, a betrayal that caused her police-loathing mother to brand her a Nazi.
Good Cop, Bad Daughter is an often humorous, poignant adventure story of Karen’s journey from pot-smoking Cal student, to Renaissance bar serving wench, to street cop. Recounting the story of the first women cops, she reflects on life with her bi-polar mother, and comes to realize her chaotic past unwittingly provided the perfect foundation for her chosen career.
As she finds family and acceptance in a men’s club that never wanted her as a member, she fears she will one day face her mother, not as a daughter but as an arresting officer. When that day came, and it did, her private life and her career would collide dramatically.

I was amazed at the strength of the author. How she survived as a child is incredible. It should be read by anyone who lives in the world of the mentally ill as an example that you can succeed. For those not involved in mental illness it shows how others live and how children survive. her writing style is witty, imaginive and quick. I was never brought to tears in the first half which deals with her life as a child. I was in awe the entire time. It is not written emotionally or by a victim. She writes factually, states what happened and how she reacted. It reads like an incredibly well written and humorous police report. The second half will have you crying: tears of laughter. Her description of a police academy in the 1980s is dead on. She describes the silly rituals, the great guys you meet and the incredible jerks, the obsession with shiny shoes, practicing physical tactics and improvising, high speed driving and learning to shoot. Future female officers: it has changed, don't worry. Her humor is wonderfully kind, she laughs at herself and her response to odd circumstances. I recommend it for everyone. I look forward to the hard copy being released so I can buy them as gifts.
