Ramon Salazar grew up knowing many things. Some were true facts, like the fact that one day he would become a partner with his Father, pearling the waters of Baja California. This dramatic story takes place when Ramon is sixteen, when he learns about pearling and about the Manta Diablo. For Ramon's dream of diving for pearls himself, as well as weighing them in the counting house, leads him to find the great pearl - the magnificent, dusky Pearl of Heaven. But his discovery also gains for Ramon two enemies, The Manta whose pearl it truly is, and the Sevillano, the finest diver in his father's fleet. And as the moving events unfold, Ramon learns that possession of the giant pearl profoundly reshapes his life. A Fabulously Moving and Entertaining Story!
