(4) 4-6 Dear America series. Grace records her experiences living in the Texas panhandle in 1935. The sixth-grader grieves when her best friend's family leaves for California. She also begins accompanying her mother, a nurse, to the hospital, where she assists the staff and becomes friends with a doctor's son. A historical afterword and photos accompany the touching, if somewhat overly sweet, story.
