Bean learns some shocking truths about her beloved grandfather and why he and Bean’s mother were always so at odds. After a tragedy in her family, Bean feels like she might be living her own soap opera, as lies and secrets are revealed. In Pearl, fifteen-year-old Bean spends most of her time with her best friend Henry, watching soap operas with him and his homebound mother.
