Bare Knuckles Justice (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218515089)

This is the story of a beleaguered family at the time Freddie, AKA Pug, was about to attain the age of eighteen. It relates how strong familial ties enabled them to survive the challenges with which they were presented. They mobilized, coordinated their efforts, and met the challenge head on with determination, grit, and with every fiber their bodies' possessed.

It is a story that has something for everyone. It's somewhat like a Tureen full of soup with the many nutritious vegetables required to make it. Just as the soup tends to quell the bodies' hunger, the story lends itself towards pleasing the psyche.

While the soup contains different ingredients that satisfy a vegetable soup gourmet, so does the interwoven material presented gratify the avid reader. It leads you from Freddie's early problem of securing employment to the families' entanglement with dangerous drug members. It moves on from there to portray the strong community and individual relationships that played a part in their daily lives.

Finally, it takes you on the interesting journey of Freddies quest to involve himself in a venture that was repulsive to him, but friendship for a dear and troubled friend Sgt. B. J. Whitney U. S. Army retired, made it necessary for him to participate in the sport.

I feel that what the book offers in the way of threatening activity, human interest, and fast paced Sports action it is a book to be enjoyed by young and old readers alike.
