About this ebook
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.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5it was interesting getting to read a book about abuse from a female to a male since it isn't a well discussed topic even though it really does happen. i was disappointed because i really hoped to see a great story of this to do justice for victims of female abuse but really it seemed the book was written for the sole purpose of writing about that topic only to deviate from it.

Chapter 1
Andrea walked in on her mother standing over her father as he sat on the couch with his work uniform on, in front of the TV. The living room was quiet, even with the TV on. At that moment, no one was watching it. Her father, Jack Rush was facing the screen, but he was not watching it. In his peripheral, he was watching his girlfriend, Amy Foster standing over him menacingly.
Amy stood over him, building up steam, before she spoke. Jack refused to acknowledge her presence, because regardless of what he said, he knew by past experiences, she was going to be complaining, nagging and upset about something that he may not have any control over. He had just gotten off work and he simply wanted to have a seat and look at the TV, even if he wasn’t actually watching it.
As Amy stood over him, she grew angrier and angrier by the second. At this point, she found that she had the ability to reach her anger peak in zero to sixty seconds and by Jack pretending to not see her standing next to him, time seemed to be shaving off some of those seconds. Amy hated the man that Jack had become. He was born into a family where their money ran freely. His parents had good jobs that allowed them to have almost everything that their hearts desired or at least a version of it. Jack grew to be a grown man that was used to getting what he wanted by simply paying for it because he had the money.
Now, that he had a girlfriend and two children, the money was no longer running freely when it was split amongst the four of them and he was having trouble
