Tuesday Tome - The Power of One

My wife just finished this book a couple of days ago and said it's one I need to read. That means it goes on my list. I wish I could get through as many novels as she does!

The Power of One
by Bryce Courtney

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.
