Chyna, The 9th Wonder of the World: If They Only Knew

The first woman to wear the Intercontinental Championship belt, Chyna gained the respect of men inside the World Wrestling Federation and the world at large. But these weren't her most significant battles. Chyna -- a.k.a. Joanie Laurer -- has battled her entire life: against a controlling mother, a scheming father, and a world with a predetermined view of what beauty and success should be. In this inspiring memoir, she shows what it's like to live your dream and overcome your nightmares. Offering a rare glimpse behind the scenes of the Federation and what it takes to get there, and filled with insights from other WWF Superstars, If They Only Knew is the story of how a real-life hero overcame adversity wherever she found it.
