Pearl Water's childhood was shattered the night she stood at her bedroom window and watched her mother run away without a glance back. Only ten years old, Pearl was left to care for the family and take over her mother's responsibilities.
Eight years later as the approach of midnight beckons, Pearl finds herself on the edge of eighteen and running, as her mother did, in search of freedom and the youth she'd been denied.
But freedom has a price.
She ends up on foreign turf; a farm in Oregon with her volatile boyfriend, Roy and his family, who seem to hold even more secrets than her own. As time goes by, Pearl is drawn into beautiful but also tumultuous relationships with these strangers in Oregon, all the while losing a bit of herself with each drop of booze Roy drinks.
As secrets unfold, Pearl wonders how much of her own past is truth and what has been a lie.
And would the answer come too late, as her world spirals down into a path of destruction?

5,0 su 5 stelle Loved it!!!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 12 aprile 2014

I was lucky enough to come across this book when it was offered for free, and to be honest, probably would have never read it otherwise as I really don't like stories about dysfunctional relationships and the synopsis put me off somewhat, but all the five star reviews and the hint at a bit of mystery in the synopsis convinced me to give the book a go.
And I am so happy I did!!
When I think about the story line, there really isn't that much to it, but it was just written so well. I read this book a while ago, but I remember thinking that there is not one wasted word in here. I absolutely dislike overly descriptive novels. With "Pearl" I could picture everything without having to wade through hundreds of descriptive words, it was just so well written.

I was suprised at how much I enjoyed this book. Pearl is a lovely young woman, who had to grow up too quickly and longs for the chance to be free again. She runs away with Roy who, unfortunately, turns out to have his own problems which traps Pearl even more in a nightmare. I felt slightly uncomfortable at some of the content in this book, finding it hard to read because Pearl is such a nice person and didn't deserve how she ended up being treated. However she grows into a stronger character eventually and I also loved how the book ended. A great read well worth the money.

A gripping, poignant story about domestic abuse, deep, soul-searching personal development and growth. C. E. Weisman paints a very telling account in Pearl. The author presents characters that are breathtakingly easy to relate to.

Pearl is like every young woman that is eager to lean on, and be with someone they think is stronger than they themselves are. She has no knowledge of (or experience with) being financially, and/or emotionally independent, and it is this lack that lands Pearl in an abusive marriage.

Lucky for Pearl, she does have a family and a safe home to go back to after she escapes being killed by her abusive, drunken husband.

This book makes it easy to see how many women can get into domestically violent relationships/marriages. I do feel that the author made the main character's (Pearl) escape route somewhat easy, not in the detailed route Pearl used to get home, but in presenting a safe place for her to run to.

This story supports the view that abused people usually have mental/emotional issues that they need to work through in order to lead a normal, productive life, after the abuse.

I don't usually read or like stories/novels that deal with life's ugly issues like domestic/verbal/sexual/physical abuse, but C.E. Weisman hooked me in from the beginning and then I just could not stop reading, because I wanted to know what was going to happen next.

I give this hard (for me) to put down book a rating of four stars.
*************************************************
How I choose my star ratings:
1 = Groaner. Probably didn't even finish it.
2 = Yawner. Poorly written or weak story.
3 = Recliner. Sat back in my cozy chair and enjoyed the read.
4 = Page Turner. Hard to put down. Well-written cohesive story.
5 = Keeper. A story that stays with me. Excellent reference material.

Yet another great free book on kindle! This is a good, believable story. This is a well structured and entertaining book I really enjoyed it even cost me a few hours sleep as I was so engrossed.

Not my usual genre so maybe I'm being a little harsh with only giving it 4 stars. I think it's a little predictable but great fun none the less. It feels although it could be a true story.

5,0 su 5 stelle Such a beautiful story.
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 18 dicembre 2012

Pearl and her journey to explore the freedom of adulthood is a classic coming of age story. I empathized with her growing pains of understanding men, herself and the childhood she knew. There were many times throughout this story I found myself silently begging her to not be so foolish for fear of the unjust outcome. Other times, I rooted her on like a girlfriend to succumb to the whimsy of life when she was forced to be mature beyond her years. I was mesmerized with the thorough description of people and places. Not all at once, but snippets of details. I could nearly see and hear the characters who filled the pages and smell the room or state Pearl occupied. Truly loved this book and would recommend it to anyone. You too will love it!
