Georgie, a somewhat naive high school grad, dives into the world of pro-wrestling. While she initially finds validation as a wrestling diva, she soon begins to experience the darker side of her favorite sport. When Georgie, freshly eighteen and riding high on the wave of a glow-up after a life as an ugly duckling, meets “Big D” Donnie G, a wrestling promoter, her life changes. She is pulled into the world of professional wrestling—first as little more than an accessory for other wrestlers, and then as a wrestler herself. Soon, she’s all in. More shows. More revealing outfits. More focus on her body, her sexuality, the attention. After spending most of her life as an overlooked nerd, Georgie reacts to her newfound sex appeal as if she’s developed a super power…one she hasn’t totally been able to master, leading to confusing relationships with the toxic male wrestlers on the scene. Before long, however, she meets Steve and realizes “glowing up” is not the same as “growing up.”

Recovering Identity examines a critical tension in criminalized women's identity work. Through in-depth qualitative and photo-elicitation interviews, Cesraéa Rumpf shows how formerly incarcerated women engaged recovery and faith-based discourses to craft rehabilitated identities, defined in opposition to past identities as "criminal-addicts." While these discourses made it possible for women to carve out spaces of personal protection, growth, and joy, they also promoted individualistic understandings of criminalization and the violence and dehumanization that followed. Honoring criminalized women's stories of personal transformation, Rumpf nevertheless strongly critiques institutions' promotion of narratives that impose lifelong moral judgment while detracting attention from the structural forces of racism, sexism, and poverty that contribute to women's vulnerability to violence.
