Everything Here is Beautiful

Everything Here Is Beautiful by Mira T. Lee

A Heartrending Novel of Sisterhood, Mental Illness, and the Limits of Love
A powerful story of two sisters navigating the pull of family, the complexities of mental health, and the immigrant experience in America and abroad.

Everything Here Is Beautiful is a critically acclaimed debut novel that explores the deep and often painful bond between two Chinese-American sisters—one grounded in logic and responsibility, the other free-spirited and afflicted by mental illness.

Miranda, the older sister, has always felt responsible for Lucia, whose passionate, impulsive nature leads her across continents and into unpredictable relationships. When Lucia begins to hear voices and spiral under the weight of bipolar disorder, Miranda must decide how far she’s willing to go—and what she’s willing to give up—to keep her sister safe.

From New York to Ecuador to Switzerland, Everything Here Is Beautiful traces a heart-wrenching journey of love, loyalty, and sacrifice, asking what it truly means to care for someone when they can't always care for themselves. At its core, it's also a story of immigration, identity, and the search for selfhood beyond the boundaries of family expectation and personal struggle.
