In order to save her sister, Chu Ju decides she will leave home and never
return. Her travels take her far and she has many jobs from cleaning
fish to caring for silk worms. When Chu Ju comes to Han Na’s
house has she found a home at last? Will she ever see her little
sister Hua again? Read Chu Ju’s house and share in her journey.
