Toronto, ON — Light the Girl Productions is thrilled to announce it has acquired the rights to Danielle Younge-Ullman’s acclaimed and multi award-winning novel Everything Beautiful Is Not Ruined.

The novel, celebrated for its raw honesty and emotional power, follows Ingrid, a teenager grappling with the scars of her mother’s fragile mental health while finding resilience and healing on a brutal wilderness trek surrounded by a ragtag mix of misfit campers. With its potent themes of generational trauma, mother-daughter bonds, and the redemptive force of nature, the story has struck a chord with readers worldwide and is now set to be adapted for the screen.

“This story is fierce, poetic, and deeply human,” said the producers at Light the Girl. “We are honored to bring Ingrid’s journey from page to screen and to amplify its universal themes of love, pain, and resilience for audiences everywhere.”

Everything Beautiful Is Not Ruined marks a bold new project for Light the Girl Productions as the company continues to champion female-driven, emotionally resonant stories with international reach.
