Daybreak At Midnight

Set in South Africa during the Apartheid Era, this inspirational novel describes the dramatic events that followed the tragic killing of school children in Soweto, 1976. Like Kent State, this event shook the nation to the core and revealed the terrible cruelty of police as they sought to stifle student unrest. This event had far reaching consequences that affected every aspect of life in South Africa. It focused attention on the plight of black youth as they struggled with injustice, law enforcement, terrorism and liberation. Their family members dealt with each of these issues in a personal way, enduring suffering, sorrow and death, but it also revealed amazing loyalty, love and sacrifice in their lives. Written from the Christian perspective of both black and white South Africans, the book is relevant to many American lives today, as they deal with the complex problems of homeland security, terrorism and war.
