Reversal Hold

Project Reflection: Book One

Ethan Cole only wanted simple lodgings, but the House of Mirrors had other plans. Ethan is sent back to 1982 and wakes up in the bruised, beautiful body of a struggling female wrestler named Darlene Carter.

Under the hot lights and smoky halls of the Southern wrestling circuit, Ethan fights to survive in a body that isn’t his, a decade that doesn’t belong to him, and a life that starts to feel more real than his own. As time passes, Darlene rises, falls, and changes with the times — as Ethan adapts, survives, and sometimes thrives.

Reversal Hold is a pulpy, time-twisting saga of gender, survival, and identity — a haunting story about what happens when the person in the mirror starts looking back.
