Fighting For Redemption

Mike’s family has lost everything; the government took it all. His father was a drug lord who was brutally murdered at gunpoint. His mother is a neglectful seductress who wanted more from life. His father’s replacement is racist, overly religious, and abusive to him. Mike is a child who lives with the stigma of homelessness, asthma, mutilation by flesh-eating bacteria, and a weak undernourished body. He is without any friends…except for one that he creates with his imagination. The future looks bleak for him, but all hope is not lost; Mike was born with a gift: an astonishingly high IQ, coupled with an uncommon willpower needed to accomplish his dream: to become a United States Navy SEAL. At first, you may not like him as a person; he’s a rebel, an antihero, a maverick who lives by his own code of honor and tells truths that no one wants to hear. His strength is his intelligence; his weakness is his rage. But he when he loves, he loves deeply, so passionately that he’d be willing to sacrifice anything for her. Nonfiction/Memoir
