{"product_id":"tightrope-balancing-duty-with-courage-and-conviction","title":"Tightrope: Balancing Duty with Courage and Conviction","description":"How do you stay upright when the very system you swore to uphold begins to shake beneath your feet?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Tightrope, retired Deputy Chief Constable Jennifer Hyland offers a rare and unflinching look behind the badge. Through raw honesty and hard-won wisdom, she charts her twenty-six-year journey through Canadian policing-rising from a young recruit to one of the highest-ranking women in the profession-all while walking the fragile line between duty and despair, strength and vulnerability, silence and truth.\u003cbr\u003eBut this is more than a story about crime scenes and crisis calls. It's about the invisible injuries: the quiet corrosion of identity from institutional politics, power struggles, and a culture that too often punishes authenticity. Diagnosed with PTSD and multiple sclerosis, Hyland came face-to-face with her breaking point-and chose not to shatter. Instead, she found a way forward that honoured both the work and her humanity.\u003cbr\u003eTightrope is a reckoning and a rallying cry. It's for everyone who has walked a difficult path, for those wearing a uniform, those just entering policing, and those who've left-wondering if they were the only ones who struggled. It's a mirror, a lifeline, and an invitation to heal. Because the truth is, you're not alone-and there is strength, and even hope, on the other side of the storm.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1038340829\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781038340825\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Hyland, Jennifer\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: FriesenPress\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FriesenPress","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Nov 2025)","offer_id":46081059520709,"sku":"9781038340825","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781038340825.jpg?v=1776042802","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/tightrope-balancing-duty-with-courage-and-conviction","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
