PEARL of Great Price is a story of hope in these days in which fear of the future haunts the minds of many people. It is the entwining of three love stories: Karen’s love for her late husband, Paul Gazley, her growing love of God who became the new pilot of her life, and the discovery of New Zealand’s blue pearl – a symbol of love that is cultured in paua. Karen Gazley – “I am still a work-in-progress and far from looking like a fine pearl, but nothing is impossible in the Master’s hand.”
