Kat Bristol always had a love affair with the ocean. As a child, the beach and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean were her sanctuary, but when she and her family moved to the US, she had to redefine herself. It was a strange man on a Pacific Ocean beach, who showed her that she was powerful and important to those around her. But she had to outsmart those who were trying to bring her down. A near death experience made her choose what was important and taught her how to access the internal being that is her true self. "Black Pearl is a deep dive into the depths of our own identities, helping us to reflect on who we are beyond the surface, beyond who everyone else expects us to be. This story gives us an opportunity to experience self-discovery, self-love and acceptance, inspiring us to realize our full potential without fear." - Ken Walls, #1 Bestselling Author and CEO
