Chu Ju's House by Gloria Whelan

Contemporary world fiction, Politics, Gender roles, Young teen making adult decisions. . . and all but 5 stars at amazon.com. I am glad to have stumbled onto this book at the library.

I think it would be especially wonderful for a book club book as there is so much to discuss, and it might not be as easy with just a parent and child.

It is a story about "too many daughters" but not depressing although one might think that from the book flap description. (At the same time, if I had adopted a child from China, I might want to pre-read it!)

Important word.Blessed me I discovered your site by mistake, as a consequence I am shocked why this situation didn't happen earlier! I bookmarked it

Before I go, let me thank you for your tolerance with my English as (I am certain you have figured this at this moment ,), English is not my initial language hence I am utilizing Google Translate to figure out how to compose what I really plan to tell.
