She is committed to helping others who have been wrongfully convicted.

Reviews

"[T]he section on her prison years rivets. It's painful to see the smart, beautiful, incredibly naive exchange student of the first few pages turn hard and brittle as she navigates the labyrinthine Italian prison system." - Entertainment Weekly
"A raw and dramatic account of her lost years." - People
"Meditative.... Evocative.... [Knox has] an ability to convey her emotions with considerable visceral power--the shock of feeling the supremely ordinary morph into the utterly surreal, the vulnerability of being on trial in a foreign country in a language she had not completely mastered, the isolation of being in prison and at the center of a swirling media storm." - Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
