Book excerpt: Quite often the sea propels comparisons to life. Author Steve Kralick, whose background is salt laden from years upon the Caribbean, has breathed life into Jose Caserias, an aging Spanish fisherman in this captivating novella created for all people of all ages. Jose, whom Kralick admittedly befriended "in another life," struggles against the sea as well as the trials of life. His is an existence of treasured memories, and a monumental question about an unsure future formulated by the author in the most simplistic, yet powerfully symbolic vocabulary through a series of flashbacks in Jose's life. Confront the turbulent oceans of our existence while seeking the satisfaction and understanding of life as she deals her cards to us in a story where reading between the lines is every bit as important as reading the words themselves.
