    China! For Grace, excitement over her trip included more than worries about what to wear for a three-month stay on the other side of the world. She also felt excitement about a return to the land where her parents and grandparents had grown up.

    Suddenly, Grace is no longer a freshman. It seems only yesterday that she first entered Dawson as a nervous newbie. Then came a year of scares, good times and ... well ... growing up.

    Which one is more important to a teenage girl: her looks or a pile of homework due tomorrow? It depends, I guess, on the girl.

    Computer crashes … ruined flash drives … five hours until Grace's unfinished project is due. Time to give up? No way. Carpe diem, baby.

    Admit it. There's an unspoken rivalry among siblings on Mother's Day as to who has the best gift. But all that instantly dissolves when when you see the tears of joy in Mom's eyes.
