Gather Your Pearls is an inspirational book and a practical guide to overcoming disappointment, fear, and the desire to quit. Several years ago, Dr. Ashley received the concept of this book in a dream. In her dream, she saw a woman with a broken strand of pearls in her hands and loose pearls surrounding her on a table and on the ground. The woman worked frantically to pick up the pearls, which represented wisdom as well as pieces of herself lost during some of the challenges she had experienced. This is a must-read for those needing encouragement and struggling with fear and rejection. Dr. Ashley transforms common life distractions into uplifting words of encouragement through narratives and real-life application concepts
