From Christy Award-winning author Angela Hunt comes a poignant and provocative story about loss, love, and the price of playing God.

Diana Sheldon thought she had the perfect life--a thriving career as a radio counselor, a loving husband, and two beautiful children. But when tragedy strikes, her world shatters beyond recognition. Grief consumes her, and for the first time, Diana finds herself questioning everything she once believed.

When a cutting-edge research foundation offers her the chance to reclaim what she's lost through a groundbreaking scientific procedure, Diana can't resist the promise of hope. But as she edges closer to an impossible decision, she begins to realize that the path to healing may cost her more than she ever imagined.

Raw, timely, and emotionally charged, The Pearl examines the tension between faith and science--and what it truly means to trust God when everything is on the line, perfect for readers of Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper and Robin Lee Hatcher's The Forgiving Hour.
