![]() They don’t say or express emotion often, but when they do….*sigh* have a box of tissues ready! I cried and cried! I realize this might sound awful, but hells-bells I just did not see this emotional power and punch coming at all! I wanted a light, little book to read for the holiday season with action and fun. Ray (Dad) and Jason’s time on the page is heartbreaking and adorable. The stand out ingredient for me was the relationship between father and son. But trouble doesn’t know who it’s messing with! Lessons that he takes to heart to defend himself and others. ![]() Over the years, Jason learns when to stand up and defend himself and when to stand down. Not only does he absorb each art’s technique and style, he learns honor and tradition as well. Karate’s moves, grace, strength, and discipline speak to Jason. In Hong Kong, Jason learns Cantonese from his nannies and martial arts from different masters and dojos. But somehow, someway Jason has the biggest heart and sense of honor and goodness. So much strength! His mother died during child birth and his Dad is a military man-always away. A little blond haired cutie pie with blue, blue eyes filled with loss, loneliness and strength. We first meet Jason at 5 years old in Hong Kong. This book is my biggest surprise and find on goodreads this year! Jason Steed absolutely stole my heart. “It’s the best weapon you will ever have.” Wong Tong had always taught him to use the element of surprise. ![]()
