The Pearl

With this touching novel in the twilight zone between dream and reality, the author creates an unforgettable story about Mara - a woman who manages to turn her loss into beauty, developing her talents despite her setbacks and managing to renew her creative energy every day. This little book reminds us that there is a deeper secret in the universe, which can be called " the Pearl" or the law of transformation. This law tells us that everything in life is changing, it shows us how wounds can heal and how a scar can become a treasure - in our everyday life. A typical gift-book: a book you want to give away to a friend who needs a hug or a book you want to read when you wish to lift your spirit.
