Michelle was elected as the State Assemblywoman for Subang Jaya in 2018. At 28 years old, she was the youngest elected representative in the 14th Selangor State Assembly. Michelle also served as the Chair of the Select Committee on Water Resources, and was thus the only woman Chair of a Select Committee that term.

In this book, Michelle chronicles her struggle in finding her feet to invoke change from a tightrope act as a state government backbencher. She provides a raw account of the highs and lows in her journey of pushing for systemic reforms, many of which were inspired by issues addresses through community work.
