Somehow, things would get much worse as Debrah recounts stories of abuse and neglect on the part of her mother and accusations of rape against her stepfather. Debrah equates this to her mother never wanted to be a parent in the first place and throughout the years before Debrah began to form memories, she was told that her mother Betty had tried to give her away on several occasions. Her difficult relationship with her mother Betty is one of constant strain. She tends to bounce back and forth between her wrestling career, her troubled upbringing, and the strained relationships it created as well as the many hats she wore following her time in the wrestling industry around the turn of the century. In the book’s introduction, Miceli notes that she tends to jump around when telling her life story which she says matches her personality. To say that Debrah Miceli’s story isn’t told in a straight line would be an understatement. BOOK REVIEW: “The Woman Who Would Be King” by Debrah Miceli (with Greg Oliver)
