Finding Eden (Acadia Duology, #2)

by Mia Sheridan

Sometimes it seemed so much of the beauty in life resulted from the ugly. And how did you make sense of such things? How could you be thankful for an outcome that had sprung from suffering? Or maybe…maybe that the very thing that defined real beauty—light after darkness. A transformative miracle right here on earth.

And I thought to myself, even though life could be horrifying and earth-shattering, terrible and tragic, it was also filled with moments of breathtaking beauty. And sometimes you just had to laugh.
