Hope is My Anchor

Born into a poor and violent family in the 1950s on the island of Crete, Manny clings to the hope of finding happiness and freedom beyond his troubled home. At age twelve, he courageously runs away, embarking on a voyage that takes him around the world as a member of the Merchant Marines. As he fights for his dream to become an American citizen, Manny must deal with the consequences of his choices that separate him from his family and Greek heritage. As he fights to learn what it means to be the head of an American household, he continues chasing happiness while trying not lose what's most important to him. Manny's journey touches on the universal struggles all humans face in the relentless pursuit of their dreams. Hope is My Anchor is Anna Broome's fictional debut and is based on the true life story of her father.
