Synopsis

From Christy Award-winning author Angela Hunt comes a poignant and provocative story about loss, love, and the price of playing God.

Diana Sheldon thought she had the perfect life--a thriving career as a radio counselor, a loving husband, and two beautiful children. But when tragedy strikes, her world shatters beyond recognition. Grief consumes her, and for the first time, Diana finds herself questioning everything she once believed.

When a cutting-edge research foundation offers her the chance to reclaim what she's lost through a groundbreaking scientific procedure, Diana can't resist the promise of hope. But as she edges closer to an impossible decision, she begins to realize that the path to healing may cost her more than she ever imagined.

Raw, timely, and emotionally charged, The Pearl examines the tension between faith and science--and what it truly means to trust God when everything is on the line, perfect for readers of Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper and Robin Lee Hatcher's The Forgiving Hour.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Christy Award winner Angela Hunt writes for readers who have learned to expect the unexpected from this versatile author. With over three-million copies of her books sold worldwide, she is the best-selling author of more than one-hundred works ranging from picture books (The Tale of Three Trees) to novels. Now that her two children have reached their twenties, Angie and her husband live in Florida with Very Big Dogs (a direct result of watching Turner and Hooch and The Sandlot too many times). This affinity for mastiffs has not been without its rewards-one of their dogs was featured on Live with Regis and Kelly as the second-largest canine in America. Their dog received this dubious honor after an all-expenses-paid trip to Manhattan for the dog and the Hunts, complete with VIP air travel and a stretch limo in which they toured New York City. Afterward, the dog gave out pawtographs at the airport. Angela admits to being fascinated by animals, medicine, unexplained phenomena and "just about everything" except sports. Books, she says, have always shaped her life-in the fifth grade she learned how to flirt from reading Gone with the Wind. Her books have won the coveted Christy Award, several Angel Awards from Excellence in Media and the Gold and Silver Medallions from Foreword Magazine's Book of the Year Award. In 2007, her novel The Note was featured as a Christmas movie on the Hallmark channel. When she's not home writing, Angie often travels to teach writing workshops at schools and writers' conferences. And to talk about her dogs, of course.
