Impossible dreams . . .

All Jade Wu wants is to be as all-American as the other girls in Sweet Valley. But her traditional Chinese father won't let her date or do any of the things other teenage girls do, so Jade is sure she'll never fit in.
Jade is a talented dancer, and when she wins the solo part in a dance show, she takes the role despite her father's objections. Soon she's happier than she dreamed she could be, especially when the show brings her together with handsome David Prentiss. Jade begins to confide everything in David - until suddenly it looks as if he's betrayed her deepest secret about her family.
Can Jade really find happiness in her two worlds, or was her father right all along?

"Phew" David said, getting to his feet. "That was completely draining. I think we'd better go out and get a hamburger at the Dairi Burger, don't you?"
Jade blushed. "I, uh, I can't. I have to go home and-" She broke off. And what? Help my mother with dinner? That sounded like a weak excuse - she was hardly going to say that. "I just can't," she said.
She couldn't tell David the thruth: that she had been forbidden to go out on dates. Dates, according to her father, meant any planned activity alone with a boy. He probably wouldn't even let Jade ride home with David the day before if he had known about it. And he'd ceertainly never allow her to go to the Dairi Burger with him.
David looked upset. "Well, maybe some other time," he said. She could tell from the look on his face that she had hurt his feelings.
But hoe could she explain to him that her parents wouldn't allow her to do the things that other people took for granted?
