I read that book about 15 years ago and was just thinking about it today. If I remember correctly it's a Rocky type story about a small guy that goes through some really tough times in his life but continues to believe in himself and finds salvation in boxing. There's more to it but that's all I remember. It's a gritty story. Really good.
Yeah. Its a story about a young boy, Peekay, who decides he wants to become the welterweight boxing champion of the world. He has some very cool mentors from some very unlikely places. They all enrich Peekay's life in very different ways as he overcomes obsticle after obstical.
It was one of those books that got recommended to me but I never read it because it didn't have elves and shit in it. I regretted waiting so long once I read it though.
