When Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped by terrorists in Pakistan in 2002, his very pregnant wife, Mariane, was left to try to manage the search effort. In this memoir of the month between Pearl's kidnapping and news of his death, she is unflinching, revealing every emotional detail with such honesty that to call the book heart-wrenching is to minimize its power.

 

I'm an italian girl and I'd like to tell you that I'm really grateful whith you for have written that book. I'm a thirteen years old adolescent, but I think that everyone should know the story of Danny Pearl, his life and death: its horrible and terrifying, because it tells us what a man is able to do...I couldn't even think that before reading your book. I really like you persinality, because you never gave up, even when you became to know that your lovely husband was dead. When I'll be adult I'd like to be like you, and to have a son as beautiful as your Adam... Thanks,
Angela
