Pearl

Pearl cant move. Shes never wanted to until now. Life above the waves beckons to her as she watches the boats moving along the surface of the water above her. Pearl is a statue carved of milk-white stone that has stood on the floor of an ancient sea for a thousand years but shes waking up and she wants more. As desire builds within her it propels her on a journey that takes her to an exotic island grotto into the midst of a bloody revolution underground into a rat-infested tomb and at last to a magical mountain paradise. Crazed rebels wise philosophers greedy grave robbers and a few other friendly people and fish accompany her along the way as she asks the question Is desire enough? Shell have to have faith in the stars. Shell have to muster more courage than shes ever imagined. But perhaps by journeys end Pearl will believe in herself experience a miracle and realize her greatest desire of all.
