All this time I told myself we were born from war—but I was wrong, Ma. We were born from beauty.
Let no one mistake us for the fruit of violence—but that violence, having passed throught the fruit, failed to spoil it.

I don't think I have the words right now to explain how much I loved this book. But I just want to thank my bestie for recommending me this to me. :)
