Synopsis
Dina was born with deformed feet, adopted by two loving fathers, and raised in a home that tried its best—but she never stopped searching for what was missing. Torn between gratitude and resentment, between feeling wanted and never quite belonging, she spirals into addiction, first love, rebellion, and devastating loss. When the boy she tried to save dies from an overdose, and the father who never gave up on her lies dying in a hospital bed, Dina is forced to face the cost of everything she's been running from. Through adoption centers in Beijing, classrooms in rural China, and the long road back to herself, she finally learns what love means—not the kind you beg for or apologize for, but the kind you choose, and carry forward. No Apologies for Love is a raw, unflinching coming-of-age novel about identity, loss, chosen family, and what it takes to choose life—when all you've ever known is how to survive.
