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.

"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.
