The Rise of Tommy Boy

For eighteen years, it had been just Tommy Murphy and his mother. His father was out of the picture. When his mother died, she left two letters; one telling him the name of his father and another explaining the son to his father. The young man travels to New York City to meet his father, the famed heavy-weight boxer, "Bruiser" Hunter, but an unforeseen accident prevented that meeting. The boxer's brother disappeared without a trace and was presumed dead. Overcome by grief, Bruiser dropped out of sight without telling anyone.

Paddy O'Shay, his great-uncle, took the young man under his wing and began training him to be a boxer like his father. He knew Bruiser would contact him eventually. Six months later, they were still waiting when fate stepped in and the whole family was reunited in the small town of Spencer City, Connecticut.
