It doesn’t help that her super-smart brother is making her parents’ dream come true by studying law and her little sister is literally a genius. Lenore gets off on a bad foot with Alex and she also has other things on her mind, such as what she’ll do in college (even though she’s already been admitted to NYU for Art History).

When Pope John Paul II canonized 120 Catholics from China in 2000, a Chinese American Catholic community celebrated in San Jose, California.
