Summary

"You're nothing but trouble..." "You'll never amount to anything..." YOU WILL PROVE THEM WRONG Nothing comes easy for Diana Guzman. She's in trouble at school, her father underestimates her, and her friends are few. Then, in a gritty Brooklyn gym, she discovers the secret world of boxing. Day by day, as she trains in secret, she finds an outlet for all her anger, energy, and frustration. And Adrian, a handsome young boxer with dreams of his own, is soon part of the attraction. Now Diana is feeling something new -- confidence, pride, respect. She's standing a little bit taller, and in the blood, sweat, and roar of the ring, she's going the distance. But the cost of winning may be the love she has just begun to taste...
