JADED
A multi-faceted and brave exploration of race, power and violence, Jaded finds a successful young woman's life irrevocably change after she is sexually attacked at work.
She did everything right. So why did it go so wrong?
Jade isn't even my real name. Jade began as my Starbucks name, because all children of immigrants have a Starbucks name.
Jade has become everything she ever wanted to be.
Successful lawyer. Dutiful daughter. Beloved girlfriend. Loyal friend.
Until one night, something terrible happens after a work event, and she starts to wonder if she really wants to be the person she's become.
She's learned to laugh when she's felt like crying, opted to be invisible when she wanted to speak up and changed her identity to please people. But now Jade has to make a decision for herself. The question is, which is the right one?
This searing novel explores the strength we find in female friendship, the hope that lights up the dark moments and recovery that's far from linear, and will leave you asking yourself: what would you have done in Jade's situation?
Edad recomendada: Adultos.
