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.

Know My Name von Chanel Miller ist nicht nur eines der besten und wichtigsten Bücher die ich dieses Jahr gelesen habe, sondern die ich überhaupt gelesen habe. Ich bewundere Chanel für ihre Stärke und ich wünschte ich könnte so schreiben wie sie. Sie bringt alles was sie durchmachen musste und wie sie sich dabei fühlte unglaublich gut auf den Punkt. Sie schreibt ehrlich und ohne zu beschönigen, sie schreibt von all dem Leid, all der Wut, all der Ungerechtigkeit, aber dennoch lässt ihre Geschichte mich hoffnungsvoll zurück.

Powerful. Shocking. Devastating. Heartbreaking. This is such a powerful memoir that should be made mandatory in schools. Known for a long time as Emily Doe, Chanel Miller took back her voice by publishing her sexual assault story and the grueling and years-long trial that ensued, hopefully giving voice to so many other sexual assault and rape victims in the process. I thank Chanel Miller for writing this inspiring, emotional, and upsetting book that opened my eyes in so many ways. A must-read for anyone! (4.5 ⭐️ because it felt slightly drawn out in the middle and my attention wavered slightly).

One of the best books I have read in years. I feel so seen and it just helped me understand my situation better. Chanel is such an amazing writer and I am so proud of her for writing this book and being able to put all of her experiences into it. Can not recommend it enough.

One of the most well written books I have ever read and a story that will stay with me forever.
