A Ship Of Pearl: A Novel

Twelve year-old Eldie Craine's life is torn apart when his family's house burns to the ground. Surely, they would never be in this predicament, if only Eldie had done what he was told, instead of short-cutting his responsibility. Burdened with guilt, Eldie is plunged into adolescence, up to his eyeballs in unfamiliar territory. Even more confusing than a new family, a new school, and new rules, he falls in love for the first time. Eldie tells his story from February through August in 1935.
