Champion left Winslow , Georgia and his one true love , Cordelia “ Delia ” Bledsoe . Now Champion has an empty heart , a 60-2 record , but knows the real money is in boxing against a White man . His goal is to fight in at least one more match within a two-month period , but the fact that his doctor warms him that another hit to the face would be detrimental , complicates things . Armed with this knowledge , but still determined to have enough wealth to retire comfortably , Champion goes back to his home town to train .
While there , he runs into the love he left behind seven years ago . Delia is now a local schoolteacher who has one child of her own to raise , plus has taken on the task of raising several abandoned former students . Since graduating college , moving back home to take care of her children , dying parents , and her sister , but longing for a type of love she had with Champion , life hasn ’ t given her easy moments .
It ’ s not too often that you want to knock some sense into the heroine while you ’ re also rooting for the hero , but that ’ s exactly the emotions that reading the story brought on . There were several times I wanted to shake Delia because of her stubbornness , but as a woman , I understand her wanting to avoid another heartbreak . Champion was a teenager when he handed her heart to her by breaking it into pieces , but he matured , gained sense and came back home to reclaim his one true love . This was an exciting read that was full of surprises . You will not be disappointed .
