The House that Lou Built
Lou Bulosan-Nelson has the ultimate summer DIY project. She's going to build her own "tiny house," 100 square feet all her own where she can escape her crazy but lovable extended Filipino family. When challenges arise, Lou doesn't give up; with the help of friends and relatives, her dream begins to take shape, and she learns the deeper meaning of home and family.
