This hard-hitting collection of powerful and moving tales based on the
experiences of the late, great fight manager and cut man Jerry Boyd, who
wrote under the pen name F.X. Toole, is the basis for the Oscar-winning
motion picture starring Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman. Breathing life
into vivid, compelling characters who radiate the fierce intensity of
the worlds they inhabit, Million Dollar Baby "is not just fight fiction
at its finest, it is excellent fiction, period" (Dan Rather).
