The book shares the story of Isaac Walker (aka Tyrone “Ty” Thomas) who lived in the “projects” of a community in eastern Pennsylvania when his mother was murdered.
To make matters worse, he was approached by a local juvenile “gang” to sell drugs, which he refused to do. Isaac later turned “state’s witness” and testified against “gang members” regarding a friend’s murder. In fear for his life, drastic measures were taken to protect Isaac.
In One Wrestler’s Courage, readers will be captivated by Isaac’s view on life and racism. Like so many adolescents, Isaac faces all the problems teenagers have to deal with - peer acceptance, dating and young love.
Isaac’s various “coming of age” decisions on and off the mats will inspire readers, including his mature acceptance of life’s disappointments. Without question, you will be moved by Isaac’s determination to succeed.
Avid wrestling and sports aficionados will also enjoy the various action-packed, real-life, dual meet and tournament, wrestling-match scenarios.
