Harry Decker lies on his death bed in turmoil and despair realizing once again his prayer has not been answered. Looking around the hospice room that has now become his purgatory, sadness and melancholy consume him.
Closing his tired eyes, inhaling deeply, the smells of O'Hare's gym fill his nostrils-taking him back to younger days, better day. Those days he was known as Jack Collins, The Southpaw Slugger. Hearing the gruff call of his trainer Pappy O'Hare, he smiles in reminiscence, leaving his humble existence behind.
Twelve Forty Leland Street is a heartwarming and moving story of one man's life, which Samanthy Jane tells with vivid and evocative detail. Though Jack Collins would be remembered as an exceptional boxer, like all human beings, his life is the sum of many parts-his relationships, his experiences, his triumphs, and his regrets.
