About this product
Product Information
An Instant New York Times Bestseller Chosen as a BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR by The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post , TIME, Elle , Glamour , and Paste Magazine "Miller is an extraordinary writer: plain, precise and moving." -- NPR " Know My Name is a gut-punch, and in the end, somehow, also blessedly hopeful." -- Washington Post " 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." -- The New York Times She was known to the world as Emily Doe when she stunned millions with a letter. Brock Turner had been sentenced to just six months in county jail after he was found sexually assaulting her on Stanford's campus. Her victim impact statement was posted on BuzzFeed, where it instantly went viral--viewed by eleven million people within four days, it was translated globally and read on the floor of Congress; it inspired changes in California law and the recall of the judge in the case. Thousands wrote to say that she had given them the courage to share their own experiences of assault for the first time. Now she reclaims her identity to tell her story of trauma, transcendence, and the power of words. It was the perfect case, in many ways--there were eyewitnesses, Turner ran away, physical evidence was immediately secured. But her struggles with isolation and shame during the aftermath and the trial reveal the oppression victims face in even the best-case scenarios. Her story illuminates a culture biased to protect perpetrators, indicts 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. 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. It also introduces readers to an extraordinary writer, one whose words have already changed our world. Entwining pain, resilience, and humor, this memoir will stand as a modern classic.

Reviews
"Know My Name is a devastating, immersive memoir...Miller is an extraordinary writer: plain, precise and moving." NPR " Know My Name is a gut-punch, and in the end, somehow, also blessedly hopeful...She implores us, too, to challenge and question the systems that aren't working. As we examine how to prevent and prosecute sexual assault cases, this last lesson may be the most important of all." Washington Post "She writes exquisitely of her pain, makes us feel every fragment of it, but also expounds on the kindness that nourished her spirit...Miller matters. Readers will see every victim matters." USA Today "In a perfect world, Know My Name would be required reading for every police officer, detective, prosecutor, provost and judge who deals with victims of sexual assault." LA Times "To tell her story at all is enough...the fact that Miller tells it beautifully, caring enough for her reader to spin golden sentences from her pain, is a gift on top of a gift." Vogue "In a world that asks too many survivors to keep their experiences to themselves and shrink their suffering to preserve someone else's potential, Know My Name stands unapologetically large, asking others to reckon with its author's dazzling, undiminishable presence. To read it, in spite of everything, inspires hope." -- The Guardian "Miller provides one of the most moving and humanizing depictions of sexual assault I have ever read ... Know My Name features the kind of intimate, coming-of-age storytelling that you don't find in a typical story about a crime and its aftermath. She lets us see her in quiet moments and jubilant ones, in moments of doubt and moments of strength...In giving us the gift of knowing her, Miller has written a singular testament to the human cost of sexual violence, and a powerful reminder of why we fight." The Cut "In its rare honesty and in its small details, Know My Name is both an open wound and a salve, a quiet cry and the loudest scream... Know My Name is more than an indictment, though it is a successful and moving one. It is also an outstretched hand, inviting you to fight alongside her." Elle "Miller's memoir is beautifully written, underscored by simmering indignation." Jezebel " Compelling and essential...Miller reminds us that our stories are worth telling, that the names and the lives attached to those names matter." SF Chronicle "Miller's new memoir echoes her powerful victim-impact statement... It's a beautiful revealing self-portrait. It's funny and it's heartbreaking, and it's an inspiration. There's just no other way to say it: the writing is exquisite." Th e Daily Beast "Miller makes a powerful case for overhauling a system that retraumatizes victims of sexual violence even in successful cases, perpetuating the feedback loop that discourages victims from coming forward to seek justice." Mother Jones

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
