About Amanda Knox
Turning adversity into insight
At the age of 20, I was falsely accused of murder, thrown in a foreign prison, and globally vilified. I was called a murderer, a seductress, and a psychopath. My life was shattered, and my identity and reputation irrevocably distorted. But the day after my conviction, when I was sentenced to 26 years in prison, I had an epiphany: I could never reclaim the life I should have had. There was no such thing. There was only this life, right here, right now.
