Know My Name
by Chanel Miller
Sarah's take
I recommend "Know My Name" because Chanel Miller's raw and poetic reclaiming of her identity is a powerful testament to resilience and the quest for justice. It's perfect for readers who seek a profound exploration of trauma and healing, as well as those who appreciate the strength of a woman’s voice in the face of societal challenges.
About the book
After being sexually assaulted behind a dumpster at Stanford University, Chanel Miller was known to the world only as "Emily Doe" throughout the legal proceedings that followed. In this powerful memoir, she reclaims her name and voice, transforming a story of trauma into one of resilience, healing, and the radical act of refusing to be silenced.
