My Search for Meaning

By: Amanda Knox

Amanda Knox reflects on her world-famous confinement in an Italian prison and her return to an “ordinary” life—revealing 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 prison, 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.

Amanda is tough!

What an ordeal she went through. A very interesting and encouraging story. She has grit and her family sure had her back!

Great insight

Great update on the life she has had with her struggles after the horrific wrongful imprisonment and how she has managed her life. She has an incredible story and tells it well

Amanda‘s insights

I love Amanda‘s writing and her descriptions metaphors. She is a very courageous and kind person.

A lot of content repetition

She spends half the book repeating the same type of issues. Over and over again.

Wow.

Amanda’s recount of her story is truly amazing. I have followed her story since the beginning of this ordeal. I believe for me what signaled the end of her chapter was the benediction. I will listen to this often as IT. IS. TRUE of life and for life.
Amanda. Much luck.
