A Champion's Heart: Born to Win Men

A Champion's Heart: Born to Win Men

1935. Champion Bates left poky old Winslow, Georgia when he was seventeen years old. He had promised to elope with his childhood sweetheart, but pressured by other influences, he took an earlier train leaving his Delie behind. The pain at leaving her behind has tormented him for the seven years he fought as a ham and egg boxer, trying to make himself worthy of her. He had no chance for the big time until now. He has a fight with a contender boxer--a white man. However, he has been told more fighting will possibly blind him.
Back in Winslow, Cordelia â€œDelieâ€ Bledsoe is out of luck. A teacher in the local school, she has the care of several children who have been abandoned by their parents. Sheâ€™s offered $200 to take the children out of Georgia. She wants to take them to her family in Pittsburgh to live on a family farm, but Champion Bates shows up, insistent on helping her. She does not want to trust her old love, but has little choice.
Champion wants to redeem himself with his former sweetheart and doesnâ€™t expect much, but the hair and eyes of one of Delieâ€™s young children tugs at his heart. In this story of sacrifice, Champ and Delie struggle to learn about love and both must grow A Championâ€™s Heart.
