Leaving Gary

By John V. Amodeo

A young man arrested as a result of an entrapment drug sale falls into a downward spiral. Imprisoned in an Indiana state prison, Kevin Bolton is destined for failure in society's eyes. When he becomes another custodial youngster in the prison system, Kevin's luck has seemed to run out. Yet, after a two-year sentence, Kevin emerges from his prison experience wiser and changed as a result of a dream from his late mother. Events unfold as he returns to Gary, his hometown, where he rejoins his old boxing gym and is introduced to a trainer who molds him into a formidable contender. His pugilistic accomplishments ultimately gain the attention of the boxing world and transport him to Madison Square Garden for a debut fight with a Ukrainian champ. Kevin Bolton's journey is a story of perseverance against all odds that will inspire hope in the human spirit.
