-- USA Today A dazzling novel of two sisters and their emotional journey through love, loyalty, and heartbreak Two Chinese-American sisters--Miranda, the older, responsible one, always her younger sisters protector; Lucia, the headstrong, unpredictable one, whose impulses are huge and, often, life changing.

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.

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? Everything Here Is Beautiful is, at its heart, an immigrant story, and a young womans quest to find fulfillment and a life unconstrained by her illness.

But its also an unforgettable, gut-wrenching story of the sacrifices we make to truly love someone--and when loyalty to ones self must prevail over all.
