Rebuilding.

Only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss. – Alexander Dumas

This quote is from one of my favorite books, The Count of Monte Cristo. In it,Edmond Dantès has his life suddenly turned upside down as he finds himself serving a life sentence in a dismal prison. For all intents and purposes, Edmond should have no hope. I’ll stop there so as not to spoil it.
