英文简介:
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From the nine-time women’s basketball icon and two-time Olympic gold medalist–a raw, revelatory account of her unfathomable detainment in Russia and her journey home.
“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 On February 17, 2022, Brittney Griner arrived in Moscow ready to spend the WNBA offseason playing for the Russian women’s basketball team where she had been the centerpiece of previous championship seasons.
Instead, a security checkpoint became her gateway to hell when she was arrested for mistakenly carrying under one gram of medically prescribed hash oil.
Brittney’s world was violently upended in a crisis she has never spoken in detail about publicly–until now.
In Coming Home, Brittney finally shares the harrowing details of her sudden arrest days before Russia invaded Ukraine; her bewilderment and isolation while navigating a foreign legal system amid her trial and sentencing; her emotional and physical anguish as the first American woman ever to endure a Russian penal colony while the #WeAreBG movement rallied for her release; the chilling prisoner swap with Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout; and her remarkable rise from hostage to global spokesperson on behalf of America’s forgotten.
In haunting and vivid detail, Brittney takes readers inside the horrors of a geopolitical nightmare spanning ten months.
And yet Coming Home is more than Brittney’s journey from captivity to freedom.
In an account as gripping as it is poignant, she shares how her deep love for Cherelle, her college sweetheart and wife of six years, anchored her during their greatest storm; how her family’s support pulled her back from the brink; and how hundreds of letters from friends and neighbors lent her resolve to keep fighting.
Coming Home is both a story of survival and a testament to love–the bonds that brought Brittney home to her family, and at last, to herself.

中文简介:
《纽约时报》畅销书 * 来自九届女篮偶像和两届奥运会金牌得主的作品,对她在俄罗斯深不可测的拘留和回家之旅进行了原始而具有启发性的描述。
“引人入胜……对格林纳在俄罗斯被囚禁的时光的亲密而诚实的回忆。
《归来》读起来就像是一部深刻的个人的、公开有力的记录,记录了她的身心所发生的事情——仍在发生的事情。
” ——Slate 2022 年 2 月 17 日,布兰妮·格里纳 (Brittney Griner) 抵达莫斯科,准备在 WNBA 休赛期为俄罗斯女篮效力,她曾是该队前几个冠军赛季的核心球员。
相反,当她因错误携带低于一克的医疗处方哈希油而被捕时,一个安全检查站成了她通往地狱的大门。
布兰妮的世界在这场危机中被剧烈地颠覆了,直到现在她还从未公开详细谈论过。
在《回家》中,布兰妮终于分享了她在俄罗斯入侵乌克兰前几天突然被捕的悲惨细节;在审判和判刑期间,她在外国法律体系中感到困惑和孤立;作为第一位在俄罗斯流放地忍受痛苦的美国女性,她在情感和身体上承受着巨大的痛苦,而#WeAreBG 运动则为她的释放而集会;与俄罗斯军火商维克托·布特的令人毛骨悚然的囚犯交换;以及她从人质到代表美国被遗忘者的全球发言人的非凡崛起。
布里特尼用令人难忘的生动细节带领读者走进了长达十个月的地缘政治噩梦的恐怖之中。
然而,《回家》不仅仅是布兰妮从囚禁到自由的旅程。
在一段既扣人心弦又令人心酸的叙述中,她分享了她对大学恋人、结婚六年的妻子谢雷尔的深爱是如何在他们最大的风暴中支撑着她的。
家人的支持如何将她从悬崖边拉了回来;以及来自朋友和邻居的数百封信如何让她决心继续战斗。
《回家》既是一个生存的故事,也是对爱的证明——这种纽带将布兰妮带回家,与家人团聚,并最终回到自己身边。
