Mother of Pearl by Kellie Coates Gilbert

MY THOUGHTS:
This new author is sure to become very popular! This book is the story of a mom, much like me, that experiences the worst thing that a parent can deal with, the loss of a child. Her story to find justice and find healing is one that will stay with me forever.

ABOUT THIS BOOK:
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.

 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

A former legal investigator and trial paralegal, Kellie Coates Gilbert writes with a sympathetic, intimate knowledge of how people react under pressure. She is a Pacific Northwest native, and now calls Dallas home.
