Description - Chu Ju's House by Gloria Whelan


In the tradition of her National Book Award–winning novel Homeless Bird, author Gloria Whelan spins another gripping tale of a young woman fighting the strong current of timeworn tradition—this time in contemporary rural China. Present–day law and tradition conspire to force fourteen-year-old Chu Ju from home to save her newborn sister, whom their parents had hoped would be a boy. Chu Ju’s House is the provocative tale of a girl who must prove her worth in a world where girls have none.
