Pearl rises from poverty to become a multimillionaire in Washington DC real estate - at the same time earning her MFA from the American University. In Acknowledgements for her first book published in 2006, Little Back Room, Pearl thanks her second husband for his support. She accepted the burden of his alcoholism - but one day she discovers he and others conspired to alter official documents to steal her company, wealth, and identity. A Pearl from the House on Queen Street serves as a metaphor for life and is evocative of the author's journey from a dusty dry seaside town in Jamaica to America, the land where dreams are made, and everything is possible.
