Summary

Ashley Spence’s life was shattered at 19 after a violent assault by a stranger—but that’s not where her story ends.

It’s a story of quiet resilience, the power of community, and the journey back to self. https://www.amandaknox.com⁠⁠ Bluesky: @⁠⁠amandaknox.com⁠⁠ | @wisecracker.bsky.social IG: ⁠⁠@amamaknox⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠@emceecarbon⁠⁠ Free: My Search for Meaning: ⁠⁠https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/amanda-knox/free/9781538770719/ Learn more about your ad choices.
