    About this audiobook

    The riveting, powerful memoir of the woman whose statement to Brock Turner gave voice to millions of survivors

    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 listeners 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.

    Editor's Note

    Editor’s pick…

    In her memoir, Chanel Miller does more than reveal her identity. She tells us her truth. Her honesty and vulnerability provide essential context to exploring consent and the perpetuation of rape culture in the US. Beautifully written and bravely told, “Know My Name” should be required reading for all.

      This book was incredible. Easily the best book I’ve read this year and possibly in a very long time.

      What Chanel Miller went through AFTER being raped was as equally horrifying to me. Our legal system is a tormenting devise for women who have been sexually assaulted. CM relives her most painful parts of herself so that we can understand not only how broken our system is, but how broken our own values are if we don’t ask for change. This story is brave, devastating and important.

      Opened my eyes and mind on how brain washed a society can be and how every individual decision we make have impact on one another.
