THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING MEMOIR

'Incredibly moving and haunting' Roxane Gay
'I read this book cover to cover and it stunned me' Jia Tolentino
'Powerful, honest and necessary' Marian Keyes

'To girls everywhere, I am with you. On nights when you feel alone, I am with you. When people doubt you or dismiss you, I am with you. I fought every day for you. So never stop fighting, I believe you.'

Chanel Miller's story changed our world forever. In 2016 Brock Turner was sentenced to just six months in jail after he was caught sexually assaulting her on Stanford's campus. His light sentencing, and Chanel's victim impact statement, which was read by eleven million people in four days, sparked international outrage and action.

Know My Name is an intimate, profoundly moving memoir that exposes a patriarchal culture biased to protect perpetrators, a criminal justice system designed to fail the most vulnerable, and ultimately shines with the courage required to move through suffering and live a full and beautiful life. Entwining pain, resilience, and humour, this breath-taking memoir will stand as a modern classic.

'I could not put this phenomenal book down' Glennon Doyle, bestselling author of UNTAMED

'To read Know My Name inspires hope' Guardian

'A searing, beautiful book' Sunday Times

'Know My Name marks the debut of a gifted young writer. Miller's words are purpose. They are maps. And she is a treasure who has prevailed' New York Times

A rollercoaster of a memoir

I am a journalist who followed Chanel's courtroom journey from start to finish and this was like reliving it but with heart and soul replacing the cold and misogynistic courtroom. I cried. I laughed. I stopped listening to write things down to remember always. Chanel's writing is beautiful and raw.

Beautiful, inspiring and eloquent

I am feeling such deep gratitude that the author wrote this beautiful memoir - certainly not an easy story to tell - it connected me to my own past and made me want to write down my own story just to help me come to terms with it. In the book, she expresses herself so eloquently and I have such admiration for her and her family for their ability to turn such a painful experience into such a powerful book. Thank you, Chanel!

Powerful and thought provoking.

Chanel’s story is both moving and challenging. She really made me think about my own perceptions of the world and how people perceive survivors and women overall. Thank you Chanel.
