About "Why Me?"

For the first time, Clayton Muehlstein opens up about the tragic night that altered the trajectory of his life and the lives of others. Why Me is a raw, unflinching memoir that goes beyond headlines to show the painful truth of what comes after the unthinkable happens. 

Written from jail using handwritten notes and stolen moments of quiet, Clayton confronts topics of college life, binge drinking, friendship, heartbreak, depression, incarceration, starting over, finding purpose, self-love, and the importance of asking why.
