The Novel Wrestler By: Bill Welker "The Novel Wrestler is a unique narrative about a very creative adolescent who faces the various aspects of growing up and the realities of life. It vividly demonstrates to the reader that one's true character is defined by how he responds to adversity, both on and off the wrestling mat." -Rob Koll, NCAA Champion, Head Wrestling Coach at Stanford University Tommy St. Clair was a child prodigy in the literary field and a bestselling author before reaching high school. Tommy also loved the sport of wrestling. His father and older brother were state champions. A student of the game, Tommy strived to accomplish the same goal. It never happened. He lacked the mental and physical toughness his father and brother possessed. That all changed when Tommy's life was turned upside down. The Novel Wrestler will capture the hearts and souls of those who have traveled similar paths in life. You will be amused, you will cry, and the ending will take you completely by surprise. Without question, readers will be intrigued with Tommy's "coming-of-age" decisions and how he handles life's disappointments.
