THE MOST EPIC BOXING NOVEL OF ALL TIME, THE POWER OF ONE HAS BEEN IN MY TOP TEN FAVORITE NOVELS SINCE THE FIRST TIME I READ IT TEN YEARS AGO. WHENEVER I READ IT AGAIN, IT NEVER FAILS TO MOVE ME. AN AMAZING STORY WITH BOXING AT ITS HEART . . .
THE POWER OF ONE
First with your head and then with your heart . . . So says Hoppie Groenewald, boxing champion, to a seven-year-old boy who dreams of being the welterweight champion of the world. For the young Peekay, it is a piece of advice he will carry with him throughout his life.
Born in a South Africa divided by racism and hatred, young Peekay will come to lead all the tribes of Africa. Through enduring friendships, he gains the strength he needs to win out. And in a final conflict with his childhood enemy, Peekay will fight to the death for justice . . .
