Grace Knotts appears to be the all-American girl: she's attractive, intelligent, athletic, and comes from a "good" family. But as so often proves true, the gulf between perception and reality is vast. Indelibly scarred by an unspeakable betrayal, Grace harbors feelings of shame and self-loathing, often questioning her own worth. Her only sanctuary is Pearlberry, an idyllic retreat she creates in her mind as a means of escape. Upon reaching her lowest point, Grace takes an unexpected journey beyond Pearlberry's borders, leading to an equally unexpected reunion. The answers she finds through that encounter will force her to re-evaluate everything she thought she knew about life, herself, and the very nature of God. At its heart, Beyond Pearlberry is an inspirational story of lost innocence, restored faith, and the healing powers of forgiveness. But it also acts as a poignant illustration of the strength of a parent's love and how that love can transcend even the greatest of obstacles.
