Beauty in Pain Sneak Peek Quote

...this person lying before them was not recognizable to Valerie.  Her first honest internal reaction was one of relief.  She thought how do they know it’s her?  Maybe it’s not June, mix ups happen and for a second Valerie was privately joyous.  Admittedly, that was an awful thought to have because if it were not June, it would have been someone else’s sister, mother, daughter or niece.  Valerie would have been ecstatic, in that moment, if it were another person.  After staring at this individual for a while an uncomfortable familiarity began to rise.  Valerie could kind of see it – June’s face.
