THE LUCK OF THE GOLDEN CROSS
By
In a story of a Greek family of sponge fishermen on the coast of Miami, Kathryn Vinson recreates the mystery and reverence people who earn their bread from the sea feel toward their watery world. Yanni, an eleven-year-old boy, follows the tradition of his family when he determines to become a diver. His courage and the faith he places in the Golden Cross of the Epiphany lends a spiritual dimension to his life and helps achieve the family fortune.
