How does one step off the path of life and set a new course? Yusuf Omar's inspirational novel Qwabe speaks to anyone struggling to create caring, supportive relationships. Everyone has the capacity to help. This story follows young Qwabe's amazing and difficult journey from his rural village to the daunting metropolis of Johannesburg. Omar transforms readers into Qwabe's world of love, pain and benevolence. He provides a voice to the people who exist on the margins of society, relying on collective support rather than violence and greed. Like the lowly caterpillar that becomes a butterfly, the last steps are painful and awkward. "I could not put down this book. I wanted Qwabe to make it out. This is a must-read for everyone who cares about our children." Judge LaJune Lange (retired) Honorary Consul for South Africa for the State of Minnesota, USA "Poverty is a terrible thing. It denies young people of any hope of pursuing their dreams and ambitions. This story beautifully illustrates that, with some kindness and encouragement along the way, many of these young lives can be transformed when given the opportunity to put to use their unique, God-given talents." JB MACDONALD Minnesota - USA, Author of book Project "Ark" "The book explores the revival of the complex and multifaceted concept of ubuntu, a traditional African philosophy that emphasises the importance of human relationships, interconnectedness and community. I found the author's writing style to be clear and engaging and the descriptions of the setting to be vivid and immersive. Readers who are drawn to stories of personal growth and redemption will find this book to be a captivating read." Heather Snyman
