My Search for Meaning

De: Amanda Knox

Narrado por: Amanda Knox

Amanda Knox reflects on her world-famous confinement in an Italian prison—and her return to an "ordinary" life—to reveal 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 incarceration, 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.

Wow!

This book is for anyone that has experienced trauma in their lives. Of course the story is intriguing but this book is beyond that story. Amanda is an amazing writer but she is also deep, wise, perceptive and KIND. She put words and explanations to feelings and experiences that, I imagine, many people have but would be unable to articulate. I feel like I understand my own trauma better because of this book and for that I am grateful.

Outstanding. Courageous. Thoughtful.

This book is so well written. So honest. Amanda Knox has come out of a horrible traumatic experience, starting with murder of her roommate and then wrongfully convicted to being a strong, empathic and grounded woman.
The story is heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time. I’m so glad to have the clarity of her story because the press did an injustice to her. Brava, Amanda, Brava!!!!

Wonderful clarification of her life

Inspirational story of forgiveness and acceptance of another persons inability to admit their own culpability in their actions against you, but still be able to give yourself the gift of forgiving them!

Such wisdom

This book was refreshing and full of wisdom. Such an amazing story full of forgiveness not just for others but for herself.

The strength and maturity of Amanda

A beautiful book of real life events. I shudder at what could have been but so glad at the way it turned out. A families faith in each other and the support they gave in the moment of Amanda's need. Touched by the story.
Frustrated with the continued broken judicial system all over the world that mercilessly imprisons innocent people depriving them of their one life that God has graciously given them. I feel so sorry for the thousands who are still fighting from inside. For every innocent person wrongly convicted there is a criminal roaming the world causing more damage. Prosecutors, Judges, jury pay careful attention. Leave your prejudices aside and look for real, strong evidence. Be brave and own up mistakes so that innocent Amandas can go free.
