This memoir is told from the standpoint of a seasoned police, fire and EMS dispatcher; Drug Recognition Expert and instructor for the Academy; Criminal Investigator for the Maine Department of Corrections—all rolled into one!

Evident from author David Wilson’s expertise at writing detailed police reports, ‘Peanut Butter Memoirs’ is a rich compost of poignant experiences in his chosen field. I felt as though I were sitting around a campfire toasting marshmallows, held captive by a seasoned storyteller. Without mincing words or apologizing for his opinions, the reader becomes an eye witness to each and every scene the author vividly portrays in this heartfelt memoir steeped in honesty.

Within the scope of this memoir, the reader channels a gamut of emotions elicited from “a day in the life of”: relief, sadness, joy, fear, and jaw-dropping disbelief. I got choked up over the “root beer hard candy” revelation.

Sticking around to the very end, you’ll find out the rationale behind the title of the memoir. As there’s never a dull moment, chances are you will.
