READERS SAY:: 

This book was awesome. I couldn't put it down.

A truly memorable story with distinct characters carved from everyday life where everyone has a secret.

A bright book on hope and caring. Barry James Hickey is my American Honore de Balzac.

(Hickey) imbues his characters with a magic formula, using acute observation of the human condition, sensitivity, honesty, imagination, love and hope.

A great find and such great character development. Wow! A literal treat!

Everyone has a secret. The story is compelling and curious to the end. The Five Pearls emotionally moves you to pay it forward in your own life.

This is a great book for teens and young adults! The characters come to life on every page.

I could not put it down... An exciting new author.
