At last!

Hello everyone! I know I promised a video recap to conclude Pearl in the Mist, but as I mentioned before we’re having computer problems. As such, I’ve decided to write the last recap for the book in order to finish it up, since I have access to other computers for typing, but not for videos….

Fairytale of New Orleans

Ruby ignores Gisselle as best as she can until it’s time for the twins to head back to New Orleans for the Christmas holidays. She’s hopeful that, once back home, Gisselle will spend all of her time with her friends, and Ruby can avoid her further and spend time with Beau. Before they leave, though,…

Gisselle, ma hell

Ruby and Gisselle are sent back to Greenwood immediately, a state of affairs that Gisselle takes less than kindly to, and which Ruby endures because she’s looking forward to getting back to work with Miss Stevens and because she is a martyr. Upon their return Gisselle promptly takes out her aggression on little Samantha, accusing…

The New Daphne Order

Ruby and Gisselle head back to New Orleans , their departure from Greenwood punctuated by Rachel coming to say goodbye to Ruby and telling her that she’ll always have family at Greenwood, and by Gisselle flirting with Buck when he comes to help out her wheelchair in the car. Oh Gisselle. Ruby feels like she’s…

Comings and…mostly goings

Ruby gets home from Louis’ and decides against telling Abby the terrible story she’s just heard, showing actual restraint for once. Instead, she tells her roommate that Louis wanted to apologize for the way he’d behaved at the last visit and that his life is darker than anything she’d ever seen in the BAYOU.  Abby…

There are no words

Because I suck and have kept y’all waiting, I am going headfirst into some of the weirdness of these next chapters. I feel dirty already. The next morning, Ruby gets a call from Miss Stevens, who invites her to come along on a painting excursion. Ruby happily accepts and packs up her supplies. While she’s…

Piano Man

Gaaaaaaaaaaaah, sorry y’all. So, Ruby and Abby, newly minted BFFs, begin their academic careers at Greenwood. The place is run like clockwork–students are on time, everyone wears their uniforms (except Gisselle), and no one so much as writes on a desk. Gisselle has already made Samantha into her little servant, and despite Ruby’s warnings, the…

Callin’ Baton Rouge

And here we go go go. I am mildly saddened because I think that the version of this recap that I started on my laptop had some gold in it, but that be the way it is, so let’s begin this hayride, shall we? Pearl in the Mist opens with a letter from Ruby to…

It’s a Search Term Post!

First things first: what vc andrews book…

Pearl in the Mist–The Cover

Thanks as always and forever to The V.C. Andrews Cover Gallery. No, seriously, who is this chick? I’m going to assume, from her center position on the cover, and the fact that she’s wearing a locket that Beau gives Ruby in the book, and the fact that she looks so damn overcome that she’s supposed…
