About This Item
New York: It Books/HarperCollins, 2014. SIGNED. NF/NF. Stated First Edition. First printing with number line ending in 1. Signed Brittney Griner #42 on the title page. The book is tight with solid hinges, good tips, and clean unmarred boards. Spine ends gently pushed. The textblock is clean with no writing, bookplate, or markings and not BCE, ex-library, or remaindered. Color photos. The dust jacket is unclipped ($25.99) with light shelf wear, else Fine. Protected in a new Brodart Mylar cover. 216 pages. 6¼ x 9¼" tall.
At 6'8", with an 88-inch wingspan and a size 17 shoe (men's), the Phoenix Mercury star has heard every vicious insult in the book, enduring years of taunting that began in middle school and continues to this day. Through the highs and lows, Griner has learned to remain true to herself, rising above the haters trying to take her down.
In her heartfelt memoir, she reflects on painful episodes in her life and describes how she came to celebrate what makes her unique—inspiring lessons she now shares. Filled with all the humor and personality Griner has become known for, In My Skin is more than a glimpse into one of the most original personalities in sports; it's also a powerful call to readers to be true to themselves, to love who they are on the inside and out.
