Without a Voice is the powerful story of Michelle’s fight for justice.

As a young, vulnerable, naïve 22-year-old, Michelle had no idea how to deal with the menacing stranger who seemed to be taking over her life. He had sucked friends and family into believing his fantasy that he was a good, kind man, trying to offer Michelle a better life. But beneath the façade lurked a dangerous and deadly psychopath, hell bent on revenge for Michelle’s rejection of him.

Twenty four years later, still fighting to clear her name, Michelle tells, with raw honesty, the true and horrifying story of the murder of her beloved father and how she was framed for that murder, losing her youth, her young daughter, her freedom and almost her sanity.
