About this ebook
Raised to become a world champion in mixed martial arts by his adoptive, abusive, sadistic Japanese father, Katsuro Tachigi, Gian Aaron Molina was sold, as a newborn, by his irresponsible, reckless mother to this seventy-two year-old stranger from Japan.
Gian survived years of torture, methodical beatings, and brutal training to face the greatest challenge of allfinding love and compassion in a world far distant from him.
Thrust into defying his inner moral code, Gian commits the most heinous of all acts. Though being reviled and bloodied by his adoptive family, Gian finds his core beliefs, and finally crosses swords with his demented tormentor in a battle for survival.
His mixed martial arts training and fighting continued; he turned professional at age 16. His life became conflicted when Gian unexpectedly finds love compassionately given to him by Catherine. She was his first great love and cracked open a world totally unknown to him. Feeling the power of love, he attempts to break from his abusers only to find that his bond with Katsuro is twisted too deeply into his soul.
Follow Gian, Katsuro and the entire Tachigi clan in a story so unbelievable you could never ever imagine it is inspired by actual events. Join Gian as he seeks redemption, takes revenge and starts a new life in a world so long denied him.
