"It was like me and Rosaleen really had discovered the Lost Diamond City"(Kidd 80).

Ever sinceLily was a little kid life has been very tragic, between her accidentally killing her mother and her abusive father. The only person that really loves her is Rosaleen, but once she gets in trouble and put in jail Lily has no one. Lily soon goes to find Rosaleen and they both runaway together andend up at a bee farm. The people that live there are three black sisters who take in Lily and Rosaleen. One of the sisters names is May and she has emotional issues. Whatever pain the world is in she feels it all. So she created a stone wall and wrote down all the tragic things that have happened on paper and put it in the wall. Lily soon found out and read one. This quote was from that scene when she is reading it and she feels like she has found the most incredible place ever. There are so many emotions where Lily is staying now and most of them are happy, she is not used to this. She feels as if this place is a place of something real. A place where lives are changed forever.
I feel like Lily's life is finally coming together. She has found what she enjoys doing and she will not give it away easily. Everyone at the farm has changed her into a better person even if she does not think so. Her life was so tragic before that she does not know how to deal with all the good things that are happening to her. She will soon learn though. This quote is saying that Lily has not only found a perfect place, but she has found her life again since her mother died. She can now let go of all her guilt and anger.
