When Lucia starts hearing voices it is Miranda who must find a way to reach her sister. Lucia impetuously plows ahead but the bitter constant is that she is in fact mentally ill. Lucia lives life on a grand scale until inevitably she crashes to earth. <p/> Miranda leaves her own self-contained life in Switzerland to rescue her sister again--but only Lucia can decide whether she wants to be saved. The bonds of sisterly devotion stretch across oceans--but what does it take to break them? <p/><i>Everything Here Is Beautiful</i> is at its heart an immigrant story and a young woman's quest to find fulfillment and a life unconstrained by her illness. But it's also an unforgettable gut-wrenching story of the sacrifices we make to truly love someone--and when loyalty to one's self must prevail over all.
