Opis

Fighting to Find Peace: A Belfast Boxer’s Journey is a deeply personal memoir of growing up in Belfast from the height of the Troubles to a more peaceful time. As our country moves from conflict to peace, McAuley reflects on his own life experiences from fighter to finding inner peace. McAuley, whose roots lie in a famous fighting family, tells his family’s history – from his grandfather, a champion boxer, and his own father, a legendary streetfighter, to his own boxing career. It is a deeply honest account of his life inside and outside the ring: the highs, the lows and the regrets. This compelling autobiography takes the reader on a journey through McAuley’s childhood, teenage years and adulthood, his journey through boxing and what lay belong, with stories which are warm, witty and heart-breaking. It describes many life challenges and lessons learned, dreams, hopes, failings, and eventually finding faith. This inspiring story about having dreams, personal growth, honesty and maturity has universal appeal. Illustrated with the author’s personal photographs, Fighting to Find Peace will appeal to all those with an interest in sport, the Troubles, and social history.
