Publisher's Summary
1989. Pro wrestling reaches the summit of its golden era. Kids of all ages watch, bowls of sugar cereal in hand, as psychedelic heroes battle big bad villains on Saturday morning television. But the true soap operas begin after the cameras stop rolling.
A wrestling hero of a bygone era, traumatized by a fatal accident, gets a chance at redemption over 30 years later. A teenage girl plots storylines in her spiral bound notebook. But they're not imaginary. She owns a promotion. A six foot 10 inch merman and his hypnotized hostage are so popular that they change the wrestling industry. Then, they begin to psychologically unravel.
A diner waitress is happy to support her hunky boyfriend in his pursuit of national wrestling stardom. But is it possible she's the real talent? In this new novel, a diverse cast of characters must work together in order to fight each other safely. Traveling from the Texas desert to small town Georgia and the Atlantic City boardwalk, they struggle to overcome their demons and the demons of their country. But are the outcomes of their lives already predetermined, or can they achieve the American dream together?
