Inspiring and lovely

Many people know Mariane Pearl only as the widow of Daniel Pearl, who wrote a memoir, and had a movie made about her life starring the megastar Angelina Jolie. People forget that Mariane Pearl is a journalist and a good journalist at that.

Pearl has been faced with the kind of hatred that makes it easy for someone to give up. Mariane Pearl never gave up and she disarms her enemies by writing this book, filled with beautiful, moving photographs, and earnest, honest accounts of women all over the globe making a difference. There's women fighting against human trafficking, oppression, violence, disease, and injustice...this book is inspiring and it opens the eyes we can no longer close.

Read this book, be inspired, and act on it. Pearl has shown us that we can change the world in small ways and it is all up to us to make the difference. Call it cheesy, cliché, what you will...but it's the complete truth.

Very well made hardcover book

I ordered 3 or 4 of these for Christmas gifts for women I knew of all ages, and the hardcover version is a really nice gift, large enough in size and quality made to make an excellent gift. They all were quite honored to receive them.

excellent book

After having read Mariane's book "A Mighty Heart" and after have seen the movie as well, what else could I say but this : Mariane is a great person who would have all the reasons to hate the whole world but instead of that, she tries to understand people in distress, people confronted to huge problems. This book perfectly shows us that if there is goodwill, there is hope for solutions, there is hope for a better world.
I really recommend this book to those who believe there is no hope for a better future !

fast deliveryy and wonderful book!

I was very impressed when I received this book in 2 days instead of the usual week or so. I love the book too! It is a beautiful book, and very inspiring. I gave it to a best friend who is lending it to me and then will lend it to others to see. The author made a beautiful book and her words are very touching. Women and men need to read this book! The world needs to get inspired by women who have made a difference in this war-like civilization we live in!

After Islamic extremists murdered her husband, Wall Street Journal reporter Danny Pearl, in 2002, Mariane Pearl wondered how to teach their son, Adam, to embrace the world without fear. Could she show him that hope is stronger than hatred? In 2006, Pearl embarked on a round-the-globe journey in search of proof that it is. Every month for Glamour magazine, Pear crosses the continents to meet brave, determined women?the true agents of change in every community?who make the world more just, peaceful, and loving despite personal hardship, discouraging odds, and even death threats. In In Search of Hope, she introduces readers to the everyday heroes she?s met in the first year of her journey, and offers never-before-seen photographs from her travels. We meet Somaly Mam, a former child sex slave in Cambodia who now rescues young girls from forced prostitution; Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the first woman ever to be elected head of an African country; Lydia Cacho, an intrepid Mexican reporter who exposes violence against women and children despite repeated threats on her life; Sheila Watt-Cloutier, the Inuit leater and Nobel Peace Prize nominee who is saving her people from global warming; Dr. Julian Atim, a twenty-something Ugandan AIDS orphan fighting for health rights in her country; and several others. Presented by Glamour, and featuring an introduction by United Nations Goodwill Ambassador and Academy Award-winning actress Angelina Jolie, In Search of Hope Is a testament to the power of hope. Glamour will donate 100 percent of its proceeds and royalties from In Search of Hope to charities selected by the women profiled.
