More About This Book

Overview

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.

Editorial Reviews

The New York Times - Michiko Kakutani
…[Ms. Knox] spent a lot of time in prison writing journals, poems, stories, letters, even lists of what she would do with her life (i.e., things she would do if she got out immediately, or things she would do if she were 46 when she were released). All that practice and all that introspection have given her an ability to convey her emotions with considerable visceral power—the shock of feeling the supremely ordinary morph into the utterly surreal, the vulnerability of being on trial in a foreign country in a language she had not completely mastered, the isolation of being in prison and at the center of a swirling media storm.
Library Journal
In November 2007, 20-year-old Knox, an American studying in Perugia, Italy, was arrested for the gruesome murder of her British roommate, Meredith Kercher, resulting in sensationalist news coverage worldwide. Convicted and jailed after a deeply polarizing trial, Knox served until 2011, when an appeals court overturned the conviction. Here, she draws on journals she kept throughout her ordeal to give us her side of the story. With a one-day laydown on January 8 and a 750,000-copy first printing.

    "Innocent until proven guilty" here in the States. Some people (like GFMurphy, above) believed the Mass Media Hype Machine, which sensationalized the whole "trial". There's a reason her conviction was not upheld.

    I applaud her for writing about her ordeal. It takes strength and courage to recount moments you'd rather forget.

    It is simple not true to state that "Amanda Knox spent four years in a foreign prison for a crime she did not commit."

    Yes, "in 2011, an appeals court overturned the decision and vacated the murder charge" but that does not mean that Amanda did not commit the crime! In fact, a great many people (including me) believe that she is not innocent at all.

    I'd like to give 0 stars to this worthless publication, but apparently I have to give at least 1 star.

    the media convicted her without concern for the facts. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
    I believe she had nothing to do with this crime and they already have the person who did it. Let this girl have a normal life and beware of the media.

    Ugh, I can't even get through the sample so I won't buy it.  The writing is dry and boring and not compelling.  Memoirs of late are so bad--I don't understand why.

    Who goes home when the door is ajar, showers in a bathroom with blood in it, and a toilet full of crap THEN realizes something is wrong? And it just so happens to be the weekend the other roommates aren't home. After reading the story, I don't believe she murdered Miranda; however she knows who did, she was there, her story has some holes. She seemed very bright and ambitious, but misguided.

    She's a convicted liar. And has a murder conviction with one appeal left.  Why on earth would anyone buy this book?  Donate to the Meredith Kercher fund instead, and support Murder victims and their families, not Murderers.
