Description
Bil Wright discusses his book, "Sunday You Learn How to Box." Wright describes Jeanette, the main character Louis' mother. He describes her as a woman who has a very specific dream of what she wants her life to be. Wright then goes on to describe Ben, Louis' step-dad, who has an idea of what a man should be like. He also explains that Louis is looking for acceptance and a friend, and the reasons why Louis' mother wants him to learn how to box. Wright goes on to say that he found an agent through the acknowledgment section in books and that his mother was his first mentor.
