American Patchwork: 196
Molokini is a suspense story, set in Hawaii, about a young Californian diver who is willing to risk his life for the riches available from deep diving for black coral.

Due to the small amount of biographical information available about T.W. Hard, the author page of this lesson, features a recent report on "The Killing of the Corals", which appeared in The Philippine Star newspaper on July 10th, 1999.
