My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1021538424">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
McCutcheon has been groomed since a very young age to be a prize winning fighter (something his father wasn’t able to accomplish) by a very controlling, evil, and selfish father.  The one person McD would do anything for is his little sister, Gemma.  Life doesn’t get much worse.  Sitomer has crafted a disturbing, totally believable story about a young kid, who despite the odds, is able to hope for a better life for his little sister and himself,  reach out for help, and try for a better life that includes an education  and a family that includes love.  Gritty Detroit could also be Philadelphia, Los Angeles or any city in America.  Teens will not be able to put this honest, thought provoking book down!
