Star Ling
Her
body torpedo-straight, flippers pulsing like pistons, she moves through
the turquoise Caribbean with power and ease. Surely this must be an expert
diver, a highly trained athlete who has fine-tuned every aspect of her
physique for peak performance beneath the waves.
As she steps onto
the beach the first sour note. A stumble? No, a limp. A slight
weakness of her left side, the result of a mild case of cerebral palsy.
Shes handicapped!
But not underwater.
As teen divers go, Star Ling is the best there is.
Yet even she might
not be able to handle the danger when the deep ocean begins to give up
its secrets.
