Child Abuse meets Child Torture. Thug Life meets Boxing and a Dark Past ruins a Bright Future in Rolon's Riveting story. "Mal Criado" substantiates hope amidst a painful childhood, troubled adolescence and directionless adulthood. Muhammad Ali, The Greatest, once quoted, "he who is not courageous to take risks will accomplish nothing in life." Author Jesse James Rolon proves this line right in his open, brutally detailed debut book titled Mal Criado. The author masterfully describes the delicate fragments that made up the life of Jack some time ago. Jack was an unwanted child, robbed of a relationship with his biological father and left to live in the hands of a sadistic mother. He was often, if not always, literally beaten up to nothingness, whipped and wounded with objects, or drowned in a basin of water to his very last breath. The list of unimaginable abuses goes on. He cried himself to sleep repeatedly, yearning for the love and affection of a mother he never had. Fed up with the purposeless and incessant beatings, he resorted to run away, hoping things would be better far from home. The foster homes he was placed in were by far the worst remedy to a delicate mind. At juvenile detention, things got even worse living with disturbed teens. He got into a lot of fights and joined a gang. Nonetheless, he felt futile and desolate with the violent company. Growing up in hate was a choice he barely had control of. But, Jack eventually looked for a deeper purpose in life. A peer mediation program opens his eyes to a life far different from the one he already lived. Little by little, time passed as he realized there were more than just the fights, revenge and the gang to live for. This is when he redirects his anger in boxing. He becomes champion in his weight class, graduates high school and meets the girl of his dreams. Mal Criado, despite the tortures life can put one through, depicts how a person has a choice to find goodness and succeed in a ruthless, wicked world. But can Jack overcome the shadows of his dark past that tower over him since his childhood?
