Redemption At Ringside

About the Book

Gripping, insightful, poetic, gritty, REDEMPTION AT RINGSIDE, based on actual events, evokes varied emotions. It leaves you in wonder of a remarkably complex man and the times in which he lived. Coming of age in the depression years, trained in strict, religious ways, Ed August re-creates himself and becomes a charismatic personality in the boxing arenas. At fifty, he dramatically changes his life once again. From a fighter’s glories to a cleric’s concern for humanity, the book is filled with twists and turns, excitement, sorrow, and victories. REDEMPTION is a ride worth taking. Cameron is stunning in her affecting simplicity, telling us of the making of an ordinary life quite extraordinary, vividly conveying the powerful relationship between the human and the Divine. Readers will be drawn to REDEMPTION AT RINGSIDE by the excitement of the ring, but they will be bathed in the light left in one man’s wake. Christine Fahrenbach, PhD CZ Cameron’s story swept me away. I could not put the book down. The writing style is reminiscent of Hemingway. To weave this amazing story of a corner man ‘swept up in a trail of stardust glitter’ into a seemingly impossible chosen future – is masterful storytelling. Robin Zimmer, Editor, Shoreline Beacon REDEMPTION is a powerful little book. It knits gritty passages and artfully, poetic scenes into the tale of an ordinary Joe fueled by the financial rewards of the ring, a man who eventually rips himself away from the fame and the glory and bends to the passionate callings of his heart. The author delivers a powerhouse punch. Len Perry, Playwright, Educator
