Clark has intertwined his wrestling background into the book which provides many interesting insights into his journeys and life.

Wrestling great Russ Hellickson states the following about John’s book, … “Let my friend John Clark’s personal and challenging journey across Canada inspire you, his experience entertain you, and his insights touch you.” Congratulations John!!!
