For years, celebrated celebrity makeup artist Michelle Brione, whose mother owned 4 salons, perfected the "masks" of the world's most famous faces. But in 2018, her life shifted from studio lots to the sterile courtrooms of Los Angeles, where she faced a systemic ugliness no cosmetic magic could fix.

What began as a mission to protect her father, Hollywood veteran Rouget Brione, and her beloved Uncle Syris, spiraled into a five-year nightmare. After her father was tricked into signing away his rights, Michelle found herself battling a fraudulent network of lawyers and fiduciaries intent on erasing his legacy.

Her private war merged with history when she found herself sharing the courtroom with global superstar and #TheBritneyMovement. Michelle's harrowing memoir shares a court, conservatorship systemic abuse preying on vulnerable people and the elderly. It is a powerful roadmap for survival, proving that a corrupt system can steal your assets, but never your truth.
