Why the Cape of Good Hope?
Cape of Good Hope
The Cape of Good Hope, which is the southernmost tip of the African Continent was so named for a very good reason. It signified new direction in a long journey for ancient mariners in their route around the huge continent. The Cape of Good Hope meant a significant new turning point for the weary travelers of old.
~To get around South Africa a ship had to travel south and mostly sailed against the prevailing winds from the south. Once the ship reached The Cape of Good Hope and the ship turned north, the wind would then favor smooth sailing.
~The bay was significant as a place of rest for weary travelers and the best place to anchor a ship carrying precious cargo.

~~~Imagine sailing the African coastline for many, many days buffeted by winds and wave after wave. You’re seeking that turning point in your voyage and you see the Cape of Good Hope in the distance, your feelings would be celebratory and your energy would be renewed!!, hope realized!
We are all on our life’s journey and that journey has many waves to ‘ride-out’. Our true family and friends weather the storms with us and also celebrate our milestone moments with us. They cheer us onward to and thru that Cape of Good Hope moment in our lives. They help when help is needed and they are able to do so. That encourages us to carry on and see our journey thru.
Such is the story of Little Pearly’s Hope and all of my interrelated work for this vision and mission to bring positive inspirational, educational and collaborational

messages, products and information to the world to via our youth. The message of the story is for all readers, the educational part is also informative for all ages and the collaborative section at the back is definitely good for all, and from, (local community members),’all’.
This is the Cape of Good HOPE turning point for my family, my community and the world…..and Little Pearly’s Hope Project leads into that turning point!!!…..with so much more work to do!
Mission
It is Martin Fry’s vision to help those in need, be it proceeds from a project or from inspirational words that can change someone’s life (even if it is just for a brief moment). Equally as important is Martin’s belief in community, both in building and strengthening them. Martin has already begun to build a community consisting of local businesses and individuals to support him in his mission (see the Contribute page at LittlePearlysHope.com). With their help and from the sales of his books Martin plans to donate books to people who can relate and be inspired from the messages of his stories. He has also created a growing network of local organizations that will help distribute his books to those in need.
Little Pearly’s Hope is now available for purchase. The author’s first copies are dedicated to the children at Dell Children’s Center where the author will be donating Little Pearly’s Hope to the children attending a special reading event for the children there, as well as their library and store.
On Saturday March 3rd, from 10:00 till mid afternoon The author will be conducting special readings and book signings at the Palmer Event Center in Austin. We now have, (as of today Friday Feb. 3rd), over one thousand books for sale and about 800 free copies just for the children,(and their caretakers), and other needy ones who could use a positive message of hope for their situations. This book is truly an inspirational, educational and collaborational masterpiece.

Please preorder your copies of Little Pearly’s Hope now.
Little Pearly’s Hope second printing will be available for delivery Jan. 27th!
I hope your new year has been going well. As for my family, we are
doing ok although there has been no construction work since mid-December. We
will have, (hopefully) perfect copies of Little Pearly’s Hope available for
purchase by this Friday.
The first printing of Little Pearly’s Hope was completed two days
before Christmas but all 1000 copies contained a costly misprint. The first
printing of 1000 copies of Little Pearly’s Hope were found to contain an
error on an inside page which went unnoticed by the plate-maker. These books
were deemed unacceptable by the printer and were about to be destroyed. I
pleaded with the printer not to destroy them because the message of the
story was still intact and I felt that these books could still benefit
children in need. I devised and designed a label that would cover the
printer’s printed name and the printer conditionally agreed, and released
the books to me. I have since distributed quite a number of these
‘not-for-sale misprints’ to Dell Children’s Hospital, Ronald McDonald House,
Texas School for the Deaf, several local preschools, elementary schools,
and libraries. With all of that said I am tapped out and need to raise funds
to continue this grassroots marketing/distribution campaign. I need work,
but I feel that this labor of love is my work. I can only do so much by
myself.
Please contact me about your copy requests, if you can please
spread the word and help raise awareness by sharing the book availability
with others who might have children or grandchildren, I and my family and
the future reader/students of Little Pearly’s Hope will appreciate it so
much.
Respectfully Submitted,

Work available for an important cause.
Thanks to everyone who has helped collaborate the message in Little Pearly’s Hope thus far. The hard work is yet ahead, to elaborate, and e-laborate via the medium we all have at our fingertips, the keyboard and the pen. The book is done but the true work has begun to get this collaborative message of hope into the hands of the young.
I have literally sold all of my gold to get this pearl to the children of this world. I need your clout to get this book out. If anyone has a way to contribute to this most important cause, either momentarily share with our contacts and resources, monetarily contribute, order a copy and get it to some deserving child, voluntarily help distribute, You ARE Little Pearly’s PR. I can no longer do this part ‘on my own’, but I will die doing everything that I can towards this mission for the children of our land.
I am not one to ask for help because I have had my own resources put into this effort. You all are my ‘only’ resource besides my writing hand. Thanks again and your reward is at hand……

Little Pearly’s Hope Concept (Part 2)
After the story and message I decided to add a little history with the mystery, and also a bit of reinforcement to the message.
I felt that a bit of educational information to accompany the message of inspiration would help provide the young readers with something that they could have to further enlighten them and refer to in the future. I had adults comment, “I did not know that.”, or “This is interesting.”
The last section at the back of the book has Pearls of Wisdom which are quotes from contributors or local folks or businesses who have a message of their own to reinforce the message of the story. They may have chosen to adopt an already famous quote that conveyed their voice of support and encouragement to the young readers and that was printed in this section.
