To help me understand your query better, could you please provide more context? For example:
* Is "Pearl" the title of a specific book you are reading? If so, could you tell me the author and any other details you remember about the book?
* Are you thinking of a specific character from a book? Could you describe the character and their family relationships?
* Are you asking about the general concept of family loyalty in literature?
Once I have more information, I can give you a more accurate and helpful response.
