Book excerpt: Tough Enough By: Maria Rose Born in a Vietnamese prison, the son of a prostitute and an American soldier, Asa Greyeyes suffers through the most difficult of beginnings. From the start, he must fight to better his life, to survive. Tough Enough follows Asa’s single-minded efforts to protect his “mother” Emma and earn their freedom and a peaceful, comfortable life. On their journey from Vietnam to America to New Mexico to that life, they tangle with fight promoters, crime lords, soldiers, gun runners, and drug smugglers, but even a few of those have compassion and offer help. Asa is repeatedly faced with choices between right and wrong, but having studied the Bible with Emma while in prison, he has a firm understanding of what is it to be a good man, to be fair. Asa Greyeyes is clever, loyal, caring, and determined, but is he tough enough to earn the life he wants for him and Emma after so many years of not really knowing where he belongs? Any incidents in this book related to recent current events is purely coincidental.
