Finally! Her side of the story in her own words!

I definitely waited to hear her side of the story, since the media was all over the place reporting about it. I already listened to Rafaele Solecito's book and was excited to listen to Amanda's as well.
She gives us her perspective in her own voice, which carries more emotion that I would have expected. The story is well rounded and it makes me think that she really isn't guilty. But then again... it is her story. :)
