A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband, Danny Pearl, by Mariane Pearl (TPB, 2003, $1.75)
Mariane Pearl's jounalist husband was kidnapped in Pakistan. Five weeks later came the news he was dead. This is the story of his abduction, but it is also the story to two journalists who fell in love, and who believed in truth and justice even when the world had gone mad. Danny Pearl dies, but his wife delivers a boy, and somehow survives.
Included here are more than 40 letters she received from friends and strangers. This story is supposed to be made into a movie starring Angelina Jolie, but I think we can all agree the important story here is the real one, with the real people.
Look for this on the new non-fiction table.
