Description
For the father-daughter duo of Ric and Charlotte Flair, sports entertainment is Second Nature, but with success comes a price. Following WrestleMania XXIV in 2008, the incomparable "Nature Boy" soaked in the adulation from the WWE Universe with tears in his eyes and his daughter Ashley watching proudly from ringside. Ric's emotional retirement marked the end of a four-decade journey thought by many to be the greatest wrestling career in history.
But for Ric and Ashley, now known as Charlotte, another journey was set to begin, one punctuated by unsettling struggles, unspeakable tragedy and incredible triumph. Like a knife-edge chop to the chest, this brutally honest dual memoir details the trials and tribulations as one champion recaptures his enduring greatness while another embraces the challenge to usurp his place atop WWE.
Hear from the original limousine ridin' 16-time World Champ as he reflects on his turbulent life away from the cameras. Get the real story from "Naitch" himself as well as Charlotte's eye-opening perspective as she recalls living in her famous father's shadow, rising above her own unique challenges and the gravity of carrying on the Flair legacy. Follow two generations of WWE royalty and learn how their parallel paths come together as they learn to lean on each other on the road to glory, redemption and the bright lights of WrestleMania.
