The Pride of the Acre
The Pride of the Acre is a coming-of-age story. Charlie Tumulty passes out of a difficult childhood to find love, a goal in the boxing ring, and with the help of two valuable mentors, self-awareness and a love of reading. The road to Charlie's Olympic boxing goal, and to the love he yearns for, is fraught with difficulty. A hard decision has life-altering consequences and forces him to the threshold of an even tougher decision. What is the price that vengeance owes to a love cut short? And who will pay it?
