Shattered Silence: The Untold Story of a Serial Killer's Daughter

For over a decade, Melissa kept her family’s shameful secret. Locked in silence, she felt her innocence slip away as she slowly uncovered the truth about her father’s violent past. And she told no one . . .

Until she realized she had a choice. She couldn’t change the past. She couldn’t go back and make amends for what her father had done. But she could step out of his shadow and into the light. She could shatter the silence that had kept her bound.

In this unforgettable memoir, the daughter of the “Happy Face” serial killer shares her poignant message of hope and the power of finding your own voice. Melissa has told her story on several national talk shows and as the host of the LMN television series Monster in My Family, and she continues to share in this updated edition of Shattered Silence, which features two new chapters.

Uplifting and emotional, this book will inspire you to trust your intuition and speak out for truth as you face your own challenges and conquer your own obstacles.
