Compelling . . . An intimate, honest recollection of Griner s time held captive in Russia. Coming Home reads as a deeply personal, publicly powerful documentation of what happened what is still happening to her body and mind. Slate

Riveting . . . Coming Home delves unflinchingly into the dehumanizing indignities the Olympic athlete suffered during the 10 months she served out of a nine-year sentence. The Washington Post

A detailed accounting of Griner s harrowing journey through a Russian legal system known for its corruption . . . Read her book, a 300-plus page deep dive on an experience many of us wouldn t have been able to recover from, and I suspect your empathy will grow for her and all of humanity . . . The ripple effect in life is real, and if Griner s honesty helps even a dozen readers see the world differently, that impact, her impact, will be felt for years. Griner's book will get people talking to each other, and that's when real change begins. Lindsay Schnell, USA Today
