A Pearl in the Storm
A Pearl in the Storm: How I Found My Heart in the Middle of the Ocean
by Tori Murden McClure
A Pearl in the Storm, How I Found My Heart in the Middle of the Ocean (4/20/2009)
I rarely read non-fiction books, but am very glad that I read this one. It was difficult to put it down. (read it in 1 1/2 days) This is a great story, very well told. The author's mind, heart and spirit are impressive. The words in this story captured my imagination and I was caught up in the adventure. This would be a very good book for a book club discussion.
