Trouble in My Way

IT''S ALL HER MOM''S FAULT.

If she hadn''t snooped into Karis''s diary, she would never have found out that Karis went to a boy''s house without permission. Now Karis is grounded, which means no modem, no iPod...and no cell phone. There''s just no way a cute, popular, high-schooler can survive being cut off from the world, so Karis is forced to sneak around behind her mother''s back. But the way she''s acting makes Karis feel guilty -- even if it is her mom''s fault -- and she doesn''t like the feeling.

Her scheming is starting to cause other problems, too. Borrowing a friend''s cell phone has turned into a catastrophe that may break up her oldest friendship, and the cutie she met after driver''s ed is acting a little scary. Will the faith her mother has taught her be enough to help her find her way through this trouble...and show both the world and herself that she''s a stronger, better person than even she ever knew?
