Author Katherine Haas was born in 1937 in Germany. Shortly thereafter, her family moved first to Italy, then to China and, when Katherine was 11, to the United States. Adjusting to new languages and cultures was challenging, and often discouraging. Katherine chronicles her experiences as a multicultural immigrant in her debut memoir (published July 2024) Little Jade. View Katherine’s fact sheet here.

Katherine Haas came to the United States on a ship, at the young age of eleven. The next few decades unfolded a lifetime of adventure as this young Chinese-German woman navigated identity, culture, and politics in a world different from the one she was raised in. 

Little Jade is Katherine's whimsical meditation on a life well lived. It seeks to answer questions around what makes us who we are, as she meanders through the valleys and troughs of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
