Knox talks about her aspirations to marry and adopt children, and her
interests in writing and studying languages in a series of jailhouse
conversations with an Italian lawmaker who visited her over the past year. The
conversations serve as the basis for the book.
The 23-year-old Knox was
convicted in December of murder and sexual assault in the 2007 death of her
housemate, British student Meredith Kercher. She was sentenced to 26 years in
prison by a court in Perugia, central Italy. Knox's former boyfriend, Raffaele
Sollecito of Italy, was convicted alongside Knox and sentenced to 25 years in
prison.
A third man, Rudy Hermann Guede, an Ivory Coast citizen, was convicted
in a separate, earlier trial and sentenced to 30 years in prison - which was
cut to 16 years on appeal.

All
three have maintained their innocence. The book "Take Me With You - Talks
with Amanda Knox in Prison" by lawmaker Rocco Girlanda comes out Tuesday,
about a month before Knox's appeal begins Nov. 24. A lawyer for the Kercher
family called it "inappropriate" and unnecessary.
"We certainly
don't feel there was a need for this book," Kercher family attorney
Francesco Maresca said. The book is one of many on a case that has fascinated
audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. But unlike the others, it does not
discuss Kercher's murder.
