"A visceral, harrowing account of what it's like to be trapped inside Russia's infamous criminal justice system, with its merciless judges and vast labor camps." --The New York Times Book Review

"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

"A compelling, often chilling look inside today's version of the Gulag." --Kirkus Reviews
