Giant Steps is a personal story that outlines the struggles that Sihlangule faced as illness and failure threatened to topple and derail his dreams. It's a poetic treatise that neither glorifies struggle nor demonises pressure. It is a literary spectacle that draws the reader to understand the decisions that shaped his upward climb out of misery into triumph. Giant Steps is Siwisa's second offering with AuthorHouse. "Afrika, Arise" by S.M. Siwisa (ISBN 1420832794, AuthorHouse 2005) was a book about youth culture in Afrika that began with relating Sihlangule's own story, which is then continued in great and vivid detail in the new book.
