Book excerpt: When a highly skilled boxer with autism wants to take part in the corrupt world of professional fighting, whose decision is it to make? A bankrupt boxing gym, a down-on-his luck drifter, and a desperate father grapple with an opportunity that could solve all their problems, but at a tragic cost. Noki has grown up in his father's gym, around the seedy world of boxing his whole life, the fighters there calling him a "man-child." A young Black man with autism with a penchant for wearing Disney t-shirts, Noki is gifted with incredible boxing skills, considered by his inner circle as unbeatable. But when the unscrupulous boxing bigwigs see dollar signs, his gym family is torn: Are they permitting Noki to pursue his passion or are they taking advantage of someone with a disability. Noki, a new young adult fiction novel by Douglas Farrago, is a masterfully written coming of age story of loyalty, grit, and self-discovery in the most heartbreaking of circumstances. "This is Rocky meets Forrest Gump".
