What happens when the one sworn to protect others can no longer protect himself?
After 24 years in law enforcement, Officer Dave Dyke's career and identity were shattered by PTSD. For his wife, Christi, a registered nurse and death investigator, the fallout was both professional and deeply personal. Together, they faced the silent battle that so many first responder families know too well: the weight of trauma, stigma, and survival.
Beneath the Badge: One Couple's Fight for Hope Through PTSD is a powerful, unflinching story of love tested in the darkest places. With raw honesty and vulnerability, Dave and Christi invite readers behind the uniform-into the heartbreak, the healing, and the hope that comes when you refuse to give up.
More than a story about PTSD, this is a testament to resilience and the strength of love that fights its way back from the edge.
If you've ever worn the uniform, loved someone who has, or battled unseen wounds of your own-this book will remind you: you are not alone, and healing is always possible.
