About the Book

Through the eyes of a suburban wife and mother whose pursuit of happiness is overshadowed by personal turmoil, The Price of Pearls follows a woman’s quest for esteem, identity, belonging, love, and personal acceptance. This memoir eloquently details the two-fold process of discovering true inner healing: embracing memories and unveiling secrets, especially those we are keeping from ourselves. Following her dynamic, change-filled 1950s childhood through eventful college years in the 1970s and into an adulthood plagued with discontent, author Patricia Manns’s ultimate search for serenity shows us that learning to accept things we cannot change is more than just a prayer for today or a hope for tomorrow. It is a lens through which we must view our past.
