As a young, teenage girl, I made wrong decision after wrong decision. I made trouble at home, trouble at school, and trouble in my family. The real trouble was the self-destructing pain on the inside of me. From the age of fifteen until I turned twenty-three, I ran through the tombs and hid in the mountains of drug addiction, prostitution and criminal activity. My family tried to pull me back to safety. I broke free from their love by lashing out at their compassion. I destroyed the relationships and the trust of the few people on this earth who really cared about me. My name is Michelle Steele and this is my story.
