CRY OF THE SEA GULL When seventeen-year-old Jeff Loran is forced to fish commercially with his uncle for the summer, he slowly overcomes his anger and the need to prove himself. Faced with the dangers of the work and a man who is quite the opposite of the feeble old uncle he expected, Jeff struggles to adapt. Three people impact his life: Dan, the strong and challenging uncle who teaches him to trust; Buckshot, the old man who befriends him; and Ann, the lovely teen who appears so grown up. After a daring rescue, Jeff faces the first real decisions of his young life.
