He was a cop

[Kris]

The Return of Cassandra Todd by Darrel Nelson? Not sure if her husband is a cop.

Angela, when did you read this book?
Where does she go with her son? Who helps her?
Assuming she starts a new relationship, what do you remember about the new love interest?

[Kirstin]

Maybe Black and Blue by Anna Quindlen?

[Michele]

Possibly Rose Madder? I don't remember if she was a cheerleader, but they did marry young and her husband is a cop.
