Quote preview background for J.D. Robb
I__ very aware that my personal life, my marriage, is the source of speculation and interest in the department and with the public. I can live with that. I__ also aware that my husband__ businesses, and his style of conducting his businesses, are also the source of speculation and interest. I have no particular problem with that. But I resent very much that my reputation and my husband__ character should be questioned this way. From the media, Commander, it__ to be expected, but not from my superior officer. Not from any member of the department I__e served to the best of my ability. I want you to take note, Commander, that turning in my badge would be like cutting off my arm. But if it comes down to a choice between the job and my marriage, then I lose the arm.
