After Vinnie's older brother is murdered during a mafia power struggle, and his father assumes the position of the Boss of Bosses of all the major crime families. Vinnie and his family are forced to flee the violent Mafia war in Sicily to America to save their lives.
In Boston, Don Marenzano takes a liking to Vinnie, who takes the young pugilist under his wing. Marenzano trains Vinnie at his own gym and does everything he can to promote Vinnie's boxing career---but can Vinnie trust Marenzano, or is the Don as ruthless and psychopathic as rumors claim? He wears a devil ring on his finger.
As deceptions unravel and the body count of those close to Vinnie continues to rise, tenuous alliances form between the Depasquale and Marenzano families. And watching over everyone is the Virgin Mary, who still has a part to play in the forging of this miracle fighter.
Miracle Fighter is a story of strength and courage, family ties, and loyalty. Join Vinnie as he falls in love, and rises to the top. Most of all, he rediscovers what is truly precious---family and faith.
