ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Heart Principle" by Helen Hoang tells the story of Anna Sun, a talented violinist, as she navigates the complexities of life after an unexpected diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. Anna struggles with the pressure to meet expectations and conform to social norms, which leads to a major creative block with her music. When her father suffers a stroke, she becomes a caregiver and faces further emotional and physical challenges.

The novel explores the themes of identity, mental health, and the importance of self-acceptance. It also highlights the difficulties faced by caregivers and the need for empathy and support. Throughout the story, Anna learns to be true to herself and find strength in vulnerability, which helps her redefine what success and happiness mean for her. Her relationship with Quan becomes a safe space where she can explore these issues and be open about her flaws.
