The unlikely area of poetry provided her first major success. Well over 250,000 copies of her poetry books have been sold and poems have appeared in literature books as well as Ann Lander\u2019s column.\u00a0 A book that brought major recognition in a different way is \u201cGoodbye, I Love You\u201d, the story of her life with her husband, a homosexual man struggling with the conflicts this brought to his life and marriage. After twelve years and four children, the couple ended their marriage and vowed to remain good friends. Six years later, in Carol Lynn\u2019s home, where she was taking care of him, Gerald died of AIDS. Believing their story could help many others, Ms. Pearson decided to tell it. The book made her a popular guest on such shows as \u201cGood Morning, America,\u201d \u201cOprah,\u201d \u201cSally Jesse Raphael,\u201d and was featured in \u201cPeople\u201d magazine and \u201cWoman\u2019s Day.\u201d She has also written education motion pictures and children\u2019s plays, two commissioned by Robert Redford\u2019s Sundance Theatre, \u201cDon\u2019t Count Your Chickens Before They Cry Wolf\u201d and \u201cI Believe In Make Believe.\u201d Her most recent project is a one-woman play which she wrote and performs, \u201cMother Wove The Morning,\u201d in which she portrays sixteen women through out history in search for the female face of God. Ms. Pearson received her BA and MA degrees in Theater at Brigham Young University in Utah, where she twice received the \u201cBest Actress\u201d award. She lives and works in Walnut Creek, California.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plays and Musicals Authored:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Martyr In Waiting\" href=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/?p=8926\"><strong>Martyr In Waiting<\/strong><\/a> (Zion Theatricals)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/?p=9337\"><strong>The Order Is Love<\/strong><\/a> (exclusive license by Zion Theatricals by permission of Deseret Book)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/?p=3576\"><strong>My Turn On Earth<\/strong><\/a> (exclusive license by Zion Theatricals by permission of Deseret Book)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/?p=8934\"><strong>Move On!<\/strong><\/a> (Zion Theatricals)<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/?p=8930\"><strong>The Dance<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(Zion Theatricals)<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/?p=3999\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mother Wove The Morning<\/a><\/strong> (Leicester Bay Theatricals)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/?p=4027\"><strong>Facing East<\/strong><\/a> (Leicester Bay Theatricals)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/?p=4071\"><strong>Caravan<\/strong><\/a> (Leicester Bay Theatricals)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t Count Your Chickens Until They Cry Wolf!<\/strong> (Anchorage Press &#8212; now owned by Dramatic Publishing)<\/li>\n<li><strong>I Believe In Make Believe<\/strong> (Anchorage Press &#8212; now owned by Dramatic Publishing)<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Apple Kingdom<\/strong> (Eldridge Plays and Musicals)<\/li>\n<li><strong>A Stranger for Christmas<\/strong> [play] (Eldridge Plays and Musicals)<\/li>\n<li><strong>A Stranger for Christmas<\/strong> [play with songs] (Eldridge Christian Plays and Musicals)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Original Cast Albums<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/?p=8942\"><strong>The Dance<\/strong><\/a> (with J.A.C.
