A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband, Danny Pearl by Mariane Pearl
4.0
Somehow Mariane Pearl manages to turn the story of her husband's gruesome death at the hands of Pakistani terrorists into an inspiring story of hope. In "A Mighty Heart," she recounts the days after Danny's disappearance with the keen observational and storytelling skills that make her a great journalist.
She shares the struggles she faces trying to find her husband in a country whose counterterrorism unit can't even afford their own computers and printers; in trying to care for the child growing inside her when she is too scared to go on without Danny; and in her decision to carry on his legacy of the kind of journalism people need.
The beautiful thing about Mariane's story is that instead of injecting it with bitterness and hatred, she chooses to show the good that she still believes is in people. She shares letters strangers sent her about how they have been touched by her husband's death, and talks about her plans to carry on his work of promoting peace and understanding among cultures. This is a beautiful and very moving book.
