About Path of the Pearl
Throughout history, the pearl has enchanted and delighted seekers of beauty, rarity, wealth, and power.
But the pearl's mystique goes far beyond jewelry as personal adornment. Treasured by royalty, stolen by
pirates, and hoarded in secret dragon lairs, the promise of the pearl and its legendary mystical, restorative,
and healing powers have ignited imaginations for centuries.
Path of the Pearl captures the strength of this enduring symbol by using
the pearl as a metaphor for personal growth. A pearl oyster, invaded by an irritant it can't expel,
turns adversity into a glowing iridescent work of nature's art. This book acknowledges and celebrates
the similar path shared by women, particularly in mid-life.
 The author invites the reader to assess her own life's journey using the same six criteria used by
merchants for grading pearls (color, size, shape, luster, orient, and surface perfection.) Each criteria
offers a new way of recognizing and embracing one's whole self, complete with imperfections, and rejoicing
in the hard-earned wisdom obtained by overcoming adversity. This gentle and reassuring self-exploration allows
readers to connect with their deeper selves and evaluate their progress through the lens of the pearl, serving
as a reminder that even life's worst and most painful challenges can be transformed into things of beauty.
 Path of the Pearl is a gracious guide to nurturing ourselves on the very deepest levels.
More then mere jewelry, the pearl is a spiritual teacher, a magical amulet that serves as a
conduit between our day-to-day lives and the Mystery beyond.
