About this audiobook
James Pfeiffer will do anything to have his own boat, even if it means dropping out of college, disappointing his family, and submitting to the hard, often cruel world on board a scallop trawler. Pfeiffer is willing to pay the price for his dream in blood, sweat or cold cash. The question only he can answer is whether the cost will be too great.
