A new memoir, "Heart Eater," explores the cultural loss of transnational adoption. The book's author, Sun Yung Shin, examines what it takes to become American and what is lost in the process. Her story is a personal one, delving into her own experiences with transnational adoption.

Further details about the memoir and its themes are available. The author is based in Minnesota and will be launching her book in the area.

Additional arts events are also taking place, including a jazz festival, an exhibit on South Asian feminist art, a maker festival, and a cultural celebration with music, food, and dance.
