A Mighty Heart
Updated: 2007-05-21 15:45
On January 23, 2002, Mariane Pearl's world changed forever. Her husband
Daniel, South Asia bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal, was
researching a story on shoe bomber Richard Reid. The story drew them to
Karachi where a go-between had promised access to an elusive source. As
Danny left for the meeting, he told Mariane he might be late for dinner.
He never returned. In the face of death, Danny's spirit of defiance and
his unflinching belief in the power of journalism led Mariane to write
about his disappearance, the intense effort to find him and his eventual
murder in her memoir "A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My
Husband Danny Pearl." Six months pregnant when the ordeal began, she was
carrying a son that Danny hoped to name Adam. She wrote the book to
introduce Adam to the father he would never meet. Transcending religion,
race and nationality, Mariane's courageous desire to rise above the
bitterness and hatred that continues to plague this post 9/11 world,
serves as the purest expression of the joy of life she and Danny shared.
