Summary of this Book...
"You know, Sean, every man who ever lived had some one special island that he feels is home". Words of a grandma to her grandson before he embarks on his search of the oceans of his life.




What island will be his home? Will it be that of Ireland pushing a broom at the slaughterhouse, or using his massive left side and his gorilla-like strength to stun steers, or will the island of the boxing ring be his home?




Read "Fiddler Crabbe" to see how the young Sean turns into the fearsome left-handed boxer. Sean "Fiddler" Crabbe gives South Paw a new definition to his opponents...One good left and their heads fall south and then they paw at the canvas trying to find a little redemption.




This novel by G.R. Dixon is not only about boxing but that of life. It gives us all hope that there is an island home for us all.

I do believe that my "Island" has something to do with writing and Stories.Com
I recommend this Book because...
I recommend this book because it is very entertaining. It doesn't beat you over the head with boxing terminology.
