The Last Battle of Wichita
By: Stephen E. Paine
Set in the chaotic, testosterone-fueled, and sometimes dangerous world of professional wrestling-the last true land of the outlaws in America-The Last Battle of Wichita gives readers an entertaining and sometimes poignant look inside the world's most misunderstood sport. The story opens readers' eyes to a world of colorful characters living inconceivably complicated existences, shedding blood and narrowly avoiding peril at the hands of zealous fans every night, in order to make a few bucks doing something most of the world views as little more than a fraudulent leftover from the carnival days.
But we also see these larger-than-life individuals as real people with families and dreams who suffer pain and battle personal demons...and have a hell of a good time along a road that may come to a dead end at any moment. The story explores powerful themes of fatherhood, family values, failure and redemption, and spiritual awakening.
The Last Battle of Wichita follows two men - father and son - both at odds with the tortured souls trapped within their broken and battered bodies. In their stories, separated by thirty-six years, Colt Younger and Joe Lee will head down parallel paths of redemption leading them to discover the one thing that matters most: finding something in life worth fighting for.
