Know My Name: A Memoir

$18.00 - $28.00

Hardcover: $28.00

Paperback: $18.00

This year's One City One Book selection, Chanel Miller's breathtaking memoir "gives readers the privilege of knowing her not just as Emily Doe, but as Chanel Miller the writer, the artist, the survivor, the fighter." (The Wrap). Her story of trauma and transcendence illuminates a culture biased to protect perpetrators, indicting a criminal justice system designed to fail the most vulnerable, and, ultimately, shining 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. Entwining pain, resilience, and humor, this memoir will stand as a modern classic.

Update on Book Program 
 
We have downsized donation and used book selling program until the pandemic is over and we can resume community book sales and events. 

• The Big Book Sale this fall is canceled, and the Friends’ Bookstore at Fort Mason is permanently closed. 
• The Friends’ Bookstore at the Main Library and the Wednesday $1 Step Sales are closed until the Main Library reopens to patrons
• Book donations at the Donation Center in Potrero Hill are by appointment only, for more information, click here. 
• We have diverted book sales to our online stores, with stock from the bookstores listed on Amazon, and rare and collectible books and vinyl listed on eBay. Big Book Sale stock is being donated (St. Vincent DePaul, SFUSD, and community organizations) and sold as wholesale to other regional booksellers while we await the opportunity to sell inexpensive books to the public once again, when it is safe to do so. 

 
Meanwhile, Friends is focused on what it has always done best – supporting the Library and Library staff step-by-step as they respond to emergency community needs. We will continue to raise money to strategically help the Library provide virtual services, launch SFPL To Go, and collaborate to provide Neighborhood Learning Centers serving our most vulnerable students and families. ​​
