Amanda Knox now considers herself lucky. But she didn’t more than a decade ago when she sat in a claustrophobic Italian prison cell after being convicted of murdering her roommate while studying abroad, depicted as a sex-crazed killer.
But time has changed her view of being one of the lucky ones. In her new memoir, Free: My Search for Meaning, Knox, now 37, reveals what tactics she used to survive prison, the unlikely friendship she formed with the man who had her locked up, and the struggles she faced afterwards as she navigated the outside world.
