What Readers Are Saying:
Barry James Hickey’s engagingly cinematic writing will make you laugh, cry and ponder.

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

A bright book on hope and caring. Barry 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. The result is a wonderful story, with timely revelations. I closed the book wanting to be part of it.

This book was a great find and such great character development.

Wow! What 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. Grab it!
