Emory Jade Ertz became Julie and Zach's adopted daughter from Thailand at eight, her heart brimming with hope-yet shadowed by unspoken shame she couldn't name. ESL lessons taught her new, but they couldn bridge the gap between her reflection and her self-worth. Then, in a single, life-altering moment, she stumbled upon a simple mantra: She believed she could-so she did. As Emory navigates school hallways, cultural ties, and the whispers of doubt in her own mind, her story unfolds into a powerful testament to the courage it takes to embrace every part of yourself-and discover that the greatest transformation begins when you choose to believe.
