About this listen
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 fulfillment that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt trapped in their own circumstances.
Amanda Knox spent nearly four years in prison and eight years on trial for a murder she didn’t commit—and became a notorious tabloid story in the process. Though she was exonerated, it’s taken more than a decade for her to reclaim her identity and truly feel free.
Free recounts how Knox survived incarceration, the mistakes she made and misadventures she had reintegrating into society, and culminates in the as-yet-untold story of her return to Italy and the extraordinary relationship she went on to build with the man who sent her to prison. It is the moving saga of how she wrests back her own life from the grip of her story's notoriety and returns to the quiet 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 reveals 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 who has persevered through hardship.

Free at last, she returned home to the U.S., where she has remained silent, until now.

No bond is more sacred than the one between a mother and child. And no figure is more sympathetic than a mother whose child faces a life-threatening illness. But what if the mother is the reason for the illness? What if the sympathy is the point? With help from some of the top MBP experts in the world, Dunlop and Weber uncover the complex maze of psychological, systemic, and cultural issues that compound MBP and offer solutions for how we might find our way out.

For decades, Amy ran. Through the dirt roads of Amarillo, Texas, where she grew up; to the campus of the University of Virginia, as a student athlete; on the streets of New York, where she built her adult life; through marriage, motherhood, and a thriving career. To outsiders, it all looked, in many ways, perfect. But Amy was running from something—a secret she was keeping not only from her family and friends, but unconsciously from herself. “You’re here, but you’re not here,” her daughter said to her one night. “Where are you, Mom?”

From the outside, the prosecution's case looked bulletproof, but Marcia Clark knew better. Mountains of physical evidence connected O. J. Simpson to the murders of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman, but that didn't mean it would be easy. For the woman charged with prosecuting the "Trial of the Century", the light of fame would glow white hot, as the media scrutinized her strategy, her family, even her hair. As the case spun out of control, Marcia Clark stood tall.

Story
It begins with hallucinations. From their living room window, Leo sees a man on stilts, an acting troupe, a pair of swans paddling on the Manhattan streets below. Initially, Leo believes the visions are related to his terrible eyesight, something he and his wife, Addie, joke about. Then, he starts to experience occasional, but fleeting, oddities. He's unable to perform simple tasks and he hears things that aren’t real. The doctors have no answers, and his erratic disturbances multiply.

Story
Starting in 1975, Vietnam’s “boat people”—desperate families seeking freedom—fled the Communist government and violence in their country any way they could, usually by boat across the South China Sea. Vicky Nguyen and her family were among them. Attacked at sea by pirates before reaching a refugee camp in Malaysia, Vicky’s family survived on rations and waited months until they were sponsored to America. But deciding to leave and start a new life in a new country is half the story…figuring out how to be American is the other.

Story
In the thick of lockdown, 2020, poet, critic, and memoirist Jamie Hood published her debut, how to be a good girl, an interrogation of modern femininity and the narratives of love, desire, and violence yoked to it. The Rumpus praised Hood’s “bold vulnerability,” and Vogue named it a Best Book of 2020. In Trauma Plot, Hood draws on disparate literary forms to tell the story that lurked in good girl’s margins—of three decades marred by sexual violence and the wreckage left behind.

Known for deep dives into true crime, extremist ideologies and fringe subcultures, journalist Leah Sottile turns her investigative eye toward American New Age culture. Today, tarot cards, astrology and crystals are everywhere—from Instagram and TikTok, to upscale boutiques and pricey wellness retreats. Sottile investigates how the recent surge of interest in New Age ideas speaks to a culture that is woven into the very fabric of America, and how self-professed gurus like Love Has Won's Mother God and the mysterious channeler Ramtha have built devout followings because of it.

Story
Everyone told the “Denali Damsels,” as the team called themselves, that it couldn’t be done: women were incapable of climbing mountains on their own. Men had walked on the moon; women still had not stood on the highest points on Earth. But these six women were unwilling to be limited by sexists and misogynists. They pushed past barriers in society at large, the climbing world, and their own bodies. And then, when disaster struck at the worst time on their expedition, they could either keep their wits and prove their mettle, or die and confirm the worst opinions of men.

Would absolutely recommend
You must read this book. You absolutely must. Having read Knox's first memoir, I pre-ordered it on Audible the moment it hit my radar. Usually I'm like audio, physical, digital - you do you. But I'd highly recommend listening to this author share her journey and experiences due to the emotion that comes through.
On occasion she does border on preachy and I was surprised at how unfiltered she is with her thoughts and feelings, but this book was like the best therapy session ever. I wept a few times on this journey with the author. It’s such an inspiring story about finding the beauty in tragedy and creating the life you want despite the hand you are dealt.
I'll absolutely be listening to this book again and may even buy a physical copy so I can highlight my favorite parts.

Inspiring vulnerability
A beautiful, raw story. Thank you, Amanda, for existing, surviving, and being a voice for victims of injustice everywhere. Also, who’s got any shit to ever say to you? God damn. You’re a tough lady.

Wow!
This book is for anyone that has experienced trauma in their lives. Of course the story is intriguing but this book is beyond that story. Amanda is an amazing writer but she is also deep, wise, perceptive and KIND. She put words and explanations to feelings and experiences that, I imagine, many people have but would be unable to articulate. I feel like I understand my own trauma better because of this book and for that I am grateful.

Outstanding. Courageous. Thoughtful.
This book is so well written. So honest. Amanda Knox has come out of a horrible traumatic experience, starting with murder of her roommate and then wrongfully convicted to being a strong, empathic and grounded woman.
The story is heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time. I’m so glad to have the clarity of her story because the press did an injustice to her. Brava, Amanda, Brava!!!!

Impressive writing!
This book was a very compelling read! Amanda Knox is an extremely talented writer, more so than I could have ever imagined. She eloquently details, her life after freedom and her struggles to find the true meaning of freedom. She parts of small doses of wisdom that I find I can apply to my own life, even though I have never suffered the level of trauma that she did. I cannot recommend this book enough! It is definitely one of my favorites, and I am sure that I will read this again and again.

Amanda’s vulnerability is palpable!
Gosh this is so good! I’ve read Amanda’s first book & this did not disappoint! Her emotional & interesting way of writing & speaking is just so good! I don’t know if authors read these, but if you do, I’d just like to say that not one person I’ve spoken with since reading this, actually thought for one minute you were guilty. I’m in the US, but what I’ve found in asking friends is that we all thought the Italian judicial system had it wrong from the start. Sending you peace & love!

Honest compassionate
Hearing Amanda’s story is very emotional and moving. She really was treated very badly by the Italian llama enforcement and our government didn’t do much to help her. Still rings try today for allot of people just swept up off the streets of America and shipped to another country without due process. Highly recommend reading or listening to this informative story.
