Description
The inspiring story of boxer Tim Bradley, who rose from a difficult childhood to become a champion boxer, husband, father and role model. Written for middle-grade readers and up, it shows how someone with a self-described "thug mentality" can rise to greatness and be a credit to his community, family and the sport he loves.
Follow Tim on his path from childhood, to discovering the sport of boxing and his long road to becoming a world champion in the Super Lightweight and Welterweight divisions, to his three epic bouts with the legendary Manny Pacquiao. All that while becoming a loving husband and father.
Hard to Heart was written with style by Bill Dwyre, the award-winning, 25-year sports editor of the Los Angeles Times, and winner of the career achievement award from the Boxing Writers Association of America. An easy, drama-filled read in 118 pages, the book includes a timeline of Bradley's life, a list of his professional fights and a glossary of boxing terms to make the sport accessible to all readers.
The book includes photographs from the Bradley family archive. Both paperback and e-Book editions will be available. Learn more at www.BackStoryPublishing.com.
