A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Know My Name is a gut-punch, and in
the end, somehow, also blessedly hopeful." --Washington Post
Universally acclaimed, rapturously reviewed, and an instant New
York Times bestseller, Chanel Miller's breathtaking memoir "gives
readers the privilege of knowing her not just as Emily Doe, but as
Chanel Miller the writer, the artist, the survivor, the fighter."
(The Wrap). Her story of trauma and transcendence illuminates a
culture biased to protect perpetrators, indicting a criminal
justice system designed to fail the most vulnerable, and,
ultimately, shining with the courage required to move through
suffering and live a full and beautiful life. Know My Name will
forever transform the way we think about sexual assault,
challenging our beliefs about what is acceptable and speaking truth
to the tumultuous reality of healing. Entwining pain, resilience,
and humor, this memoir will stand as a modern classic.
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING MEMOIR 'Incredibly moving and
haunting' Roxane Gay 'I read this book cover to cover and it
stunned me' Jia Tolentino 'Powerful, honest and necessary' Marian
Keyes 'To girls everywhere, I am with you. On nights when you feel
alone, I am with you. When people doubt you or dismiss you, I am
with you. I fought every day for you. So never stop fighting, I
believe you.' Chanel Miller's story changed our world forever. In
2016 Brock Turner was sentenced to just six months in jail after he
was caught sexually assaulting her on Stanford's campus. His light
sentencing, and Chanel's victim impact statement, which was read by
eleven million people in four days, sparked international outrage
and action. Know My Name is an intimate, profoundly moving memoir
that exposes a patriarchal culture biased to protect perpetrators,
a criminal justice system designed to fail the most vulnerable, and
ultimately shines with the courage required to move through
suffering and live a full and beautiful life. Entwining pain,
resilience, and humour, this breath-taking memoir will stand as a
modern classic. 'I could not put this phenomenal book down' Glennon
Doyle, bestselling author of UNTAMED 'To read Know My Name inspires
hope' Guardian 'A searing, beautiful book' Sunday Times 'Know My
Name marks the debut of a gifted young writer. Miller's words are
purpose. They are maps. And she is a treasure who has prevailed'
