Non-Fiction Memoir
In November 2007, Amanda Knox was twenty years old and had
been studying abroad in Perugia, Italy, for only a few weeks
when her friend and roommate Meredith Kercher was brutally
murdered. Young, naïve, and grieving, and with only basic
knowledge of the Italian language, she was arrested and
subjected to harsh interrogations during which she struggled
to communicate with the police. In 2009, after a trial that
made headlines around the world, she was wrongly convicted
of murder. But in October 2011, after Amanda spent four
years in an Italian prison, the conviction was overturned. Now, in Waiting to Be Heard, Amanda Knox shares for the very
first time the truth about her terrifying ordeal. Drawing
from her journals and letters, she gives an unflinching
account of what it was like to be imprisoned in a foreign
country for a crime she did not commit, and about the impact
it had on her family and loved ones as they traveled back
and forth to be at her side. With grace and gratitude,
Amanda describes the aftermath of the trial and her return
home to the States, where she is able once again to look
forward to the future.
