Plot:
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.
