Michelle’s debut memoir, “Judas Girl: My Father, Four Cults & How I Escaped Them All,” chronicles her harrowing experiences beginning at age seven when her father claimed divine revelation. This pivotal moment launched the family into a nomadic existence, moving from one religious cult to another before settling in an isolated, off-the-grid enclave known as “The Community,” founded by a former Amish bishop with evangelical aspirations.

Within this controlled environment, Michelle witnessed disturbing truths while her father’s mental health deteriorated, leading to episodes of unconsciousness and self-proclamations of prophetic status. When his declarations challenged The Community’s leadership, tensions escalated, forcing a young Michelle to make impossible choices between faith and family—decisions that would ultimately brand her as a “Judas.”
