This is AVA, my 2.7 pound Yorkie. After years in a
household of men (my husband and I raised two boys), I'd had about as much
masculine as I could take. I needed a tiny girl. I needed to be able to comb
her hair and place pink bows and cuddle.
PRINCESS AVA SWEETPEA (her nickname) often sits cuddled
in my lap while I'm writing. Makes me stretch my arms a bit to reach the
keyboard, but worth the effort.
Wouldn't you agree?
Barrie Graeber has two great kids, a loving husband, and a respected job
as a high school counselor in her close-knit community. Without
warning, everything unravels when her teenage daughter, Pearl, is
betrayed by friends and lashes out.
Nothing
prepares this mother for the helplessness that follows when her
attempts to steer her daughter back on course fail and Pearl shuts her
out . . . or when she discovers the unthinkable about her nemesis, the
football coach.
Emotionally
riveting and profoundly moving, MOTHER OF PEARL brings us into the
heart of a mother bound by an incredible burden, who ultimately finds
she must recognize her own vulnerability and learn to trust in something
much bigger.
A former legal investigator and trial paralegal, KELLIE COATES GILBERT writes with a sympathetic, intimate knowledge of how people react under pressure. She writes about messy lives…and eternal hope.www.kelliecoatesgilbert.com
