As a teen, she was told by a teacher in front of the class that she should never write, as "you are awful."Giles survived a career in law enforcement, experiencing both a mentoring Sheriff (the story told in The Accidental Deputy, the first volume of her memoirs) and a predatory Chief of Police (the story told in this book). She taught law enforcement at the college level. After moving to Florida, she opened her unique, woman-owned private investigative agency, Account-Abilities, Inc. Later Giles worked in a corporate environment in TV retailing, and in nonprofit management-all while moving on from divorce, raising a daughter, and caring for an aging mother with dementia. Giles hopes that by sharing her experiences, women and men will bravely reach for opportunities, and take risks! By sharing her trip down the road less traveled she desires to make a difference to others.view less
