By Bryce Courtenay - The Power of One (1st Ballantine Books Trade Ed) (12.1.1992)

At first, and when I’ve gifted this book, it is perceived as a self help book. It is a tremendous historical fiction novel. One of the top five books I’ve ever read

Fantastic beyond my expectations. From the perspective of a child. Loaded with wisdom.

This book is so amazingly well written, and just one of my favorites ever. It always makes me feel better to read it, because it is all about inner strength, not seeing color in people and more. It's well worth the read.
