The Diamond Maker is a tale of two teens, who overcame adversity and found love.
Bart "Stutter Boy" DeMarco and "Ugly Angela" Curcuru are 16 year-olds who have suffered emotional abuse from their peers.
Bart had battled with a severe stutter that effectively silenced him. To speak was to be mocked and ridiculed. School was agony, as were the bullies who delighted in taunting "Stutter Boy".
Angela emigrated from Sicily with her family at the age of 12. While she struggled to learn and speak English, mean girls recognized an easy target and dubbed her "Ugly Angela". Unable to verbally defend herself, and finding no friends, she, after four years, accepted that she was indeed, "Ugly Angela". That she was not worthy of love.
Man's great weakness is his ego, Women, her vanity.
At a moment when Bart was at his lowest, Angela appeared to support him and elevate his spirits, and he, elevated her. Individually, they felt vulnerable, together they were strong and confident.
That was the beginning of their love story.
