Biography & Memoir

Coming Home
Michelle Burford and Brittney Griner
Do Something
Guy Trebay


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.

An evocative coming-of-age memoir — the story of the education of a wayward wild child and acidhead who, searching for meaning and purpose, found refuge in the demimonde of the ruined but magical metropolis that was New York City in the 1970s.
