An account of extraordinary grace. Despite the trauma of the trials, imprisonment, of a life hounded by the press, Knox finds purpose in writing and in connecting with other exonerees and women whose lives have been derailed by the court of public opinionLondon Standard

Free is an achievement that moves beyond questions of innocence or guilt - an accomplished book by a woman who has been shaped by events but not destroyed by themSunday Independent

Amanda Knox reflects on her world famous confinement in an Italian prison - and her return to an ordinary life - to reveal hard won truths about purpose and fulfilment that will resonate with anyone who has felt trapped in their own circumstances.

Amanda Knox spent nearly four years in prison and eight years on trial for a murder she didnt commit - and became a notorious tabloid story in the process. Though she was exonerated, its taken more than a decade for her to reclaim her identity and truly feel free.

Free recounts how Amanda survived prison, the mistakes she made and misadventures she had reintegrating into society, culminating in the untold story of her return to Italy and the extraordinary relationship shes built with the man who sent her to prison. It is the gripping saga of what happens when you become the definition of notorious, but have quietly returned to the matters of a normal life - seeking a life partner, finding a job, or even just going out in public.

In harrowing (and sometimes hilarious) detail, Amanda tells the story of her personal growth and hard‑fought wisdom, recasting her public reckoning as a private reflection on the search for meaning and purpose that will speak to everyone persevering through hardship.
