Book Description
"Unabashedly uplifting."
THE CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER
Set in a world torn apart, where man enslaves his fellow man and freedom remains elusive, THE POWER OF ONE is the moving story of one young man's search for the love that binds friends, the passion that binds lovers, and the realization that it takes only one to change the world. A weak and friendless boy growing up in South Africa during World War II, Peekay turns to two older men, one black and one white, to show him how to find the courage to dream, to succeed, to triumph over a world when all seems lost, and to inspire him to summon up the most irrersistible force of all: the Power of One.

Finished it and I must say I found it an "Absoloodle" beautiful book.

I fell in love with the rich characters and even though I'm not particularly a boxing fan, I found myself enjoying the descriptions of the matches. And all this with the African background, makes up a lovely package. I think I'll miss Peekay...
