My Search for Meaning

By: Amanda Knox

Narrated by: Amanda Knox

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 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 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.

Extraordinary story told well

The writing was well-crafted with a fast pace. The author was thoughtful and articulate, carefully making sense of a surreal situation. There is a sense of overcoming natural feelings of resentment and bitterness by applying a wholesome reflective philosophy on life as you find it. A great read!
