"Chu Ju's House" by Gloria Whelan tells the poignant story of a young girl named Chu Ju living in rural China. Faced with the harsh realities of her family's financial struggles and the societal preference for male children, she makes a courageous decision to protect her younger brother. When her family cannot afford to keep both children, she chooses to leave her home to save him from being given away. As she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and resilience, Chu Ju learns about sacrifice, love, and the importance of finding her own path in a world that often overlooks girls.
