The Last Great Fight
The Extraordinary Tale of Two Men and How One Fight Changed Their Lives Forever
Excerpt
So exhausted that he lacks even the strength to drive, the big man surrenders the keys to his wife, a woman who has always tried to keep him in line and care for him, who saw potential and goodness where some saw laziness and complacency. Bathed in sweat, he lets out a little groan and slides awkwardly into the passenger seat. This simple act takes all his energy and leaves him gasping for breath. Finally he settles, slumped against the door, a short tangle of dreadlocks spilling over his forehead, his thick legs curled beneath the dashboard.
“Hang in there, baby,” she says. “We’ll be there soon.”
He moans, mumbles something beneath his breath.
“What’s that, honey?”
“I’ll be all right.”
