PRAISE for EVERYTHING HERE IS BEAUTIFUL:

"...a heartfelt story about sisters, family bonds, immigration, love, and an unvarnished look at how mental illnesses impact the lives of the person living with them and those who love and try to understand... In Mira T. Lee, mental health has found a new novelist champion." – Pete Earley, author of Crazy: A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness

"Everything Here Is Beautiful is a tender but unflinching portrayal of the bond between two sisters--one that's frayed by mental illness and stretched across continents, yet still endures. With ventriloquistic skill, Mira T. Lee explores the heartache of loving someone deeply troubled and the unbearable tightrope-walk between holding on and letting go." – Celeste Ng, NY Times bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere
