Every Brilliant Thing is the story of a young girl confronted with her mother’s depression. Her instinct is to try and cure her mother. She starts curating a list of all the amazing things that the universe has to offer. While her mother seems immune to her daughter’s interventions, the daughter herself is transformed: the list changes how she sees the world, providing her with an emotional literacy and resilience that will eventually save her from her mother’s fate.
