In 1939, hatred took root in South Africa, where the seeds of
apartheid were newly sown. There a boy called Peekay was born. He
spoke the wrong language-English. He was nursed by a woman of the
wrong color-black. His childhood was marked by humiliation and
abandonment. Yet he vowed to survive-he would become welterweight
champion of the world, he would dream heroic dreams.
But his dreams were nothing compared to what awaited him. For he
embarked on an epic journey, where he would learn the power of
words, the power to transform lives, and the mystical power that
would sustain him even when it appeared that villainy would rule
the world: The Power of One.
