As he and his wife, Joanne, sat in her oncologistÕs office in 2007, they received shocking news: her breast cancer, thought to be in remission, had metastasized. Joanne had two years to live. As her courageous battle began, Joanne became part of an experimental drug trial helped along with chemotherapy. Always a passionate seeker of adventure, Joanne continued to travel the world, interrupted only by her treatments. In a touching recounting of JoanneÕs last chapter of life Ken details why she elected to spend her final days on a South Pacific cruise, in search of the perfect black pearl necklace as a legacy to leave to her granddaughter. Through it all, Joanne touched the lives of many with ... her laughter, enthusiasm and spirit that lead to an amazing twist of fate no one expected. The Black Pearl Necklace shares the inspiring story of a husbandÕs experience traveling the world with his late wife before she succumbed to cancer.
