"Cry My Beloved Country" by Alan Paton tells the story of two black men, a pastor searching for his son, struggling to keep his humanity alive in apartheid South Africa. The story is a tribute to man's ability to rise above the sordid corruption the world sometimes delivers and maintain his dignity.
