From Irena Hatfield (with Mark Amdur) comes a shocking and deeply personal true story of crime, survival, and public scrutiny.

In 1985, Irena Hatfield’s husband was brutally murdered in their home—shot multiple times while she and her children slept upstairs.

For years, the case remained unsolved.

Then, more than a decade later, Irena herself was arrested and charged with his murder after allegations from a former lover. Despite intense media attention and a high-profile trial, she was ultimately found not guilty—and the real killer was never identified.

But this book goes far beyond the case.

Irena shares her life story in full—revealing a troubled childhood marked by abuse, her controversial relationships, and the personal struggles behind the headlines. It’s a raw and unfiltered account of a woman judged by the public, yet determined to tell her own story.

Gritty, confronting, and deeply human, this memoir explores truth, identity, and what it means to survive both trauma and public accusation.
