Charleston, SC, May 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The celebrated author of Not Natty, Leslie Boylan, announces the release of her next historical novel: The Blond Tiger. It’s a story about family trauma, growing up in a tumultuous America, and channeling pain into something productive inspired by real people and events.
Eddie Roth, born to immigrants Gussie and Sam, had to grow up without his mother’s love. His father Sam, a Russian immigrant, adapted to life in America — but his mother Gussie, a Polish refugee, never wanted Eddie or to assimilate to the American way of life.
In her bitterness, Gussie shuns Eddie during his formative years. Despite Eddie’s sister Miriam attempting to intercept her scorn, Gussie barrels down on Eddie’s self esteem with constant condemnation.
With little other places to turn, Eddie learns to box. He discovers he can channel the internal struggle, hurt, and anger he carries into the techniques he learns in the ring. Soon enough, Eddie’s view of himself and everyone around him is turned on its head.
Against the backdrop of two wars, illness, the Mafia, and love, can Eddie overcome all odds to find peace and joy?
The Blond Tiger is available for purchase online at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. For more information about the author, please visit any of her social media platforms
