Amanda Knox spent four years in a foreign prison for a crime she did not commit.
In
the fall of 2007, the 20-year-old college coed left Seattle to study
abroad in Italy, but her life was shattered when her roommate was
murdered in their apartment.
After a controversial trial, Amanda
was convicted and imprisoned. But in 2011, an appeals court overturned
the decision and vacated the murder charge. Free at last, she returned
home to the U.S., where she has remained silent, until now.
Filled with details first recorded in the journals Knox kept while in Italy, Waiting to Be Heard
is a remarkable story of innocence, resilience, and courage, and of one
young woman’s hard-fought battle to overcome injustice and win the
freedom she deserved.
With intelligence, grace, and candor,
Amanda Knox tells the full story of her harrowing ordeal in Italy—a
labyrinthine nightmare of crime and punishment, innocence and
vindication—and of the unwavering support of family and friends who
tirelessly worked to help her win her freedom.
Waiting to Be Heard includes 24 pages of color photographs.
