NINE DAYS: Living with My Soul Wide Open after Violent Trauma (June 2023) is a memoir by Michelle Renee, whose first book, Held Hostage, was made into a Lifetime movie. Nine Days picks up where Held Hostage left off and chronicles a single mother's 4,200-mile solo road trip up the coast of California and into the rugged terrain of the Alaskan wilderness.
Surviving on little money or food, Michelle braves the elements and confronts her turbulent past on her way to return to her daughter and prepare to come face to face with one of their kidnappers... again.
Like the highly successful work 'Wild' by Cheryl Strayed, NINE DAYS is a story of guts, grit, and determination that depicts the torment and triumph of forging ahead against all odds on the road that terrifies, challenges, and ultimately sets her free.
