Amanda Knox, who was convicted and then exonerated in a murder case that drew the attention of the world, will tell the story of her imprisonment and freedom in a new memoir, People magazine reports.

Grand Central will publish Knox’s Free: My Search for Meaning next year. It says that the book “reveals her personal growth and hard-fought wisdom, recasting her public reckoning as a private reflection on the search for meaning and purpose that will speak to everyone persevering through hardship.”

Knox was an American exchange student in Italy in 2007 when her roommate Meredith Kercher was found stabbed to death in her room. Knox was arrested in connection with the slaying along with her then boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito.

Knox and Sollecito were convicted in 2009 and exonerated in 2011. She is now a journalist and activist; in 2013 she wrote a book about her story, Waiting To Be Heard.

Her new book, Grand Central says, “is the gripping saga of what happens when you become the definition of notorious but have quietly returned to the matters of a normal life—seeking a life partner, finding a job, or even just going out in public.”

Knox announced her book on the social media platform X, writing in part, “Because my circumstances may be extraordinary, but the challenges I’ve faced are universal. I hope this book will be a light for anyone who feels trapped in their own life.”

Free is slated for publication on March 25, 2025.
