"She has written a memoir that converts the ongoing experience of
sexual assault into literature...Beautiful."─The Atlantic
“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
"Know My Name is an act of reclamation. On every page, Miller
unflattens herself, returning from Victim or Emily Doe to Chanel, a
beloved daughter and sister...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."─Jennifer Weiner, The New York
Times
“In this powerful, gutsy memoir, Miller—the sexual assault survivor
in the Stanford case—reclaims her name and her story.”—The New York
Times Book Review
"Know My Name is a blistering, beautifully written account of a
courageous young woman's struggle to hold a sexual predator
accountable. Stand back, folks: This book is going to give a huge
blast of momentum to the #MeToo movement."─Jon Krakauer
“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
"Miller is a gifted storyteller...Know her name, know her
voice."─The New Yorker
“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 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
"I'd never read anything that so vividly paints the bewildering
maze that a sexually assaulted woman faces...Know My
Name raises crucial questions about the way we treat sexual
assault and, indeed, sex itself." ─Katha Pollitt, The
Nation
“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
"Triumphant...Know My Name evokes a woman whose spirit hasn’t been
broken—a study in what it means to strike back, not in revenge, but
in reclamation.”—O Magazine
"A stunning book...beautifully written."—Teen Vogue
“Unputdownable…A much-needed memoir giving voice to those who must
be heard. Miller’s writing stands apart.”—Library
Journal (starred review)
“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.” ─The Daily Beast
"Miller's memoir, Know My Name, gives readers the privilege of
knowing her not just as Emiy Doe, but as Chanel Miller the writer,
the artist, the survivor, the fighter." ─The Wrap
“Miller distinguishes herself not only for her resilience and
fortitude, but also for her power of expression. She possesses
extraordinary gifts as a writer."─The National Book Review
“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
