Summary

Michelle Rogers thought she had found a stable partner in Matthew Terry, a man who seemed fun and dependable when they met in Lansing, Michigan.

Michelle survived, but after serving just three years in prison, Matthew was released, leaving Michelle in fear for her and her children’s lives again. The system had already failed her once. Would it happen again?
