In the fall of 2007, twenty-year old college coed Amanda Knox left Seattle to study abroad in Perugia, Italy for one year. But that November 1, her life was shattered when her roommate, British student Meredith Kercher, was murdered in their apartment. Five days later, Amanda was taken into custody and charged by the Italian police; her arrest and the subsequent investigation ignited an international media firestorm. Overnight, this ordinary young American student became the subject of intense scrutiny, forced to endure a barrage of innuendo and speculation. Two years later, after an extremely controversial trial, Amanda was convicted and imprisoned. But in 2011 an appeals court overturned her conviction and vacated the charges. Free at last, she immediately returned home to the U.S., where she has remained silent, until now.

For the first time since her trial, her four-year incarceration, and her appeal and acquittal, Amanda Knox shares the full and unflinching account of her terrifying ordeal, including the events that led to her arrest and her struggles with the Kafkaesque Italian judicial system. Aided by the journals and letters she wrote during her imprisonment, Amanda details her harrowing encounters with the Italian police, prison guards, and her fellow inmates. She speaks intimately about what it was like to be twenty years old and in prison in a foreign country for a crime she did not commit, and of the inner strength and strong family bonds that helped her endure her traumatic twist of fate.

Filled with never before-told details and eight pages of color photos, told with grace and maturity, Untitled 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.
