While in prison, Ms. Knox taught herself Italian by reading Harry Potter books, and had imaginary conversations with her younger self, trying to comfort her. During holidays, her grandmother would light a candle in front of an empty chair in her honor.

An airline worker donated miles so her family could visit her in prison. An Italian professor at her college sent books so she could keep up her studies. She moved back into her childhood bedroom, where she immediately began purging: packing clothes, stuffed animals and pillows into garbage bags for Goodwill. Her family encouraged her to take things slowly, as offers to tell her story rolled in.
