HuaAruna
When 15-year-old Aruna is adopted by a loving Chinese family and moves from her small American town to the bustling streets of Shanghai, she thinks her life is finally falling into place. But adjusting to a new culture, language, and identity is harder than she ever imagined.
Struggling to fit in at school and torn between her American roots and her new Chinese family, Aruna faces challenges that test her resilience and courage. From cultural misunderstandings to the pressure of excelling in a competitive environment, she must navigate a world that often feels foreign-even as it begins to feel like home.
As Aruna grows, she discovers her own strength and determination, carving out a unique path for herself. With the support of her adoptive family and newfound friends, she learns to embrace both sides of her identity, finding her voice and making a name for herself in a world that once seemed so unfamiliar.
The Jade Heart is a heartfelt story of belonging, identity, and the power of family. It's a tale of resilience and self-discovery that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt caught between two worlds-and dared to dream of a future where they truly belong.
