InFree, Knox will recount her experience while incarcerated, as well as the process of reintegrating into society after her exoneration, per the book’s synopsis. The book will also recount untold stories, such as Knox’s return to Italy, as well as the relationship she’s forged with the man who sent her to prison. The book, however, will largely share Knox’s personal growth and “search for meaning and purpose.”“When my roommate, Meredith, was brutally raped and murdered, I should have been a footnote inhertragic story,” Knox says in a statement shared with PEOPLE. “Instead, at 20 years old, I was accused of a horrific crime I had nothing to do with and catapulted into international infamy. After I was exonerated, I was facing an impossible question:Now what?I could never return to being an anonymous college student.I was the girl accused of murder.”
“I was trapped in that story. I didn’t feel free. It’s taken me over a decade, but I slowly learned to make meaning out of my misfortune,” the author continues. “I created my own freedom. It’s been said that pain is inevitable, but that suffering is a choice.Freeis a guide to making that choice and making that choice matter — in my life and in yours. Because my circumstances may be extraordinary, but the challenges I’ve faced are universal.”
