I bought this book at LCCT recently and finished reading it within a few days. This is a real life story written by Marianne Pearl, the widow of Daniel Pearl...
Years ago, 6 years to be exact, in February 2002, the world was stunned by the breaking news of the brutal killing of Daniel Pearl, an American journalist who was kidnapped in Karachi.
During the whole ordeal, Marianne was pregnant with her first child who was born 3 months after Daniel's death. A freelance journalist, reporter and columnist, Marianne was born in France to a Dutch-Jewish father and an Afro-Chinese-Cuban mother.
In her book, Marianne shared with her readers the events surrounding her husband's kidnapping, her hopes of finding him back, her fears for his safety, her pleas for his release ... and finally accepting the shocking truth of a fatal ending ..... she's suffered a great loss, gone through pain that no words could describe and I salute her being such a strong lady and for sharing her story with the rest of the world...
The book was adapted into a film starring Angelina Jolie and Dan Futterman.
