Griner was arrested last year at the airport in Moscow on drug-related charges and detained for nearly 10 months
Griner was arrested last year at the airport in Moscow on drug-related charges and detained for, much of that time in prison. Her plight unfolded at the same time Russia invaded Ukraine and further heightened tensions between Russia and the U.S., ending only after she was freed in exchange for the notorious Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout.
“The primary reason I travelled back to Russia for work that day was because I wanted to make my wife, family, and teammates proud. After an incredibly challenging 10 months in detainment, I am grateful to have been rescued and to be home. Readers will hear my story and understand why I’m so thankful for the outpouring of support from people across the world.”
Griner’s memoir is currently untitled and will eventually be published in a young adult edition. Financial terms were not disclosed.
