About this ebook
An exciting account of Amy Dumas—better known under her ring name Lita—and how she become one of the greatest female performers in WWE history.
Taking unexpected risks, daring to do what no one has done before, that's the reality of Amy Dumas, the remarkable woman behind Lita. With only a guidebook for a companion, Amy traveled to Mexico City in the late 1990s to learn about lucha libre, Mexico's professional wrestling. When she returned to the States, she was resolute in her goal to be a professional wrestler.
Amy found people who saw her determination and her heart, and agreed to train her. She met a number of wrestlers who would prove influential in her career. Among them were two North Carolina stars who had just signed with World Wrestling Entertainment—Matt and Jeff Hardy. Amy formed an instant bond with the brothers; their high-flying bravado inspired her own ring style.
It wasn't long before Amy—now christened Lita—joined WWE. She proved to be a pioneer in women's wrestling. It took a broken neck suffered on the set of a television series to stop her...but only temporarily. Lita is the stirring tale of one young woman's amazing journey to the top of WWE.

I like Amy Dumas aka Lita's openness and honesty throughout this book. Really enjoy it from start to finish. She is definitely a cool tomboy who helped change the wrestling era for women's equality and by which now we've seen today; as the next generations of women wrestlers are appreciated fully of their pure ring talents. Rather than just being eye-candy or sex object back then in the past. Also I respect her more with helping the homeless animals, plus against cruelty to animals. Now I won't give any spoilers, for those of you fans of Lita, buy this book. It's totally awesome and worth it! (^_^)d
