Without bitterness, and with startling and admirable honesty, Bozella's story shines a light on injustice and what it really means to have the heart of a fighter. This is a remarkable story told with perspective on life that has been hard won, and is all the more powerful for it. -- Mischa Merz, boxer and author of The Sweetest Thing In his memoir, Stand Tall, Dewey Bozella takes the reader on a harrowing yet ultimately triumphant journey through his life. Dewey Bozella proves himself as a fighter in every sense of the word. I cannot recommend this memoir enough. -- Mark Miller, author of Pain Don't Hurt A harrowing and inspiring account of fighting a nearly lifelong battle against injustice. -- Kirkus Reviews In this beautifully told memoir, former amateur boxer Bozella writes about growing up in foster care and his survival on the streets of New York City...His writing is concise, never self-congratulatory or self-pitying, and always graceful. -- Publishers Weekly
