" I beseech you my star...please see past the darkness. There is potential for boundless good in the boy I knew. Trust that the man you see now is a shadow of what lies beneath. If you would, give him the love that will enable him to see it for himself. To a lost soul, such a treasure is worth it's weight in gold. Worth it's weight in dreams. "

― Renée Ahdieh , The Wrath and the Dawn (The Wrath and the Dawn, #1)
