Summary

This week on Hard Knox...music! We’re sharing Amanda’s guest appearance on Life in Seven Songs, a podcast where guests tell their life stories through seven tracks that shaped them. In this episode, Amanda reflects on how music became a lifeline during her years in prison—through the three CDs she was allowed in her cell and even a paper keyboard she used to practice piano. Music connected Amanda to her fellow prisoners, to the outside world, and to the silly, optimistic person she’d always been.
