Fight Like a Man explores how the relationship between parents and their teachings can make or change the life of their children. This is the story of Andrea and Danny, children of Amy, who frequently abused her boyfriend, Jack verbally, emotionally, and physically when her needs weren't fulfilled. In this story, Wilkins discusses how Amy ruined the life of her daughter Andrea and her son Danny.When Jack could no longer take the abuse, he left his family for good. Amy felt hurt and decided she didn't want Andrea to go through the same hard time that she had been through. That's why she brought her up as a strong, bold, fearless and independent woman. However, just as Amy's heart had become filled with hatred for men, Andrea also grew up and entered into one negative and unruly relationship after another with men, to fulfill her personal needs. She could never love anybody truly, knowing that if anything went wrong, she could handle the situation bravely, in view of the fact that she had been taught to fight like a man.At the same time, Amy had poisoned Danny's life too. He was taught how to be respectful, kind and true to women, but having seen his father being abused by his own mother, he decided to remain alone. But this was until he befriended Corey, who later became Andrea's boyfriend, which ultimately changed his life completely.Author Dominique Wilkins shines the light on an issue which has remained in the closet for far too long. Drama, emotions, violence, unhealthy relationships and lack-of-love carefully weaved together in the spine-tingling Fight Like a Man will leave the readers a new insight on relationships.*Includes some R-rated material*
