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.

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, the misadventures she had reintegrating into society, and culminates in the untold story of her return to Italy—and the extraordinary relationship she's 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.

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.

Impressive writing!

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!

Amanda’s vulnerability is palpable!

Incredibly well written and narrated (I always prefer when the author narrates! Sometimes I choose not to buy a book when the author doesn’t step up and read their own writing, so I was thrilled she did so. In fact, her first book said she narrated but it didn’t really sound like her in my opinion - perhaps due to her age differences between the two books?). I honestly always felt like she was a bit flat as far as her affect and speech when seeing/hearing her speak throughout the years (of course who wouldn’t be after going thru this kind of fresh hell!), but this narration showed the exact opposite. Through her narration you hear her voice inflections, her fun and silly side, her compassion, her wisdom, kindness, as well as her deep emotion of fear, desperation and sadness, etc.

The story was very emotional and brutally honest. I was surprised she included a few things / thoughts in the book, as we all know how judgmental some can be, especially after fighting such a hard uphill battle against those who were so certain she was guilty. Society and ppl can be so cruel, so easily swayed towards one perspective or another without looking at or having much knowledge of the evidence (becomes the mob mentality), and then they seem to unleash all of their own anger onto that someone else in the public sphere, thinking if they are this evil person they’ve been painted to be, it must be true and that’s the whole of the story and thus they deserve such a horrid treatment. She definitely got her fair share of that treatment, and this book really shows her working through those painful memories, and regaining herself and her own power. In this book she shows exactly how human she is, which I thought was beautiful and brave. I hope she continues to grow and heal, finding beauty and wisdom in even the most challenging of experiences she’s faced. Her case truly is, but for the grace of god go I. It could happen to anyone … we don’t think it will happen to us, until it does.

Well written and narrated. Emotional and honest.

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.

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.

Wow!

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!!!!

Outstanding. Courageous. Thoughtful.

Inspirational story of forgiveness and acceptance of another persons inability to admit their own culpability in their actions against you, but still be able to give yourself the gift of forgiving them!

Wonderful clarification of her life
