Author Carrie Vaughn brings us back to the Wild Card universe with her short tale called Grow. Maryam is an Ace and her power is to grow to great heights. She lives in Leeds in 1994 and her family isn't supportive of the fact that she is an Ace but I'm getting a head of myself she gos so far as to make herself known as an Ace to the point where she is disrupting the ribbon cutting ceremony. After that she then finds that her mom is more concerned for her to find a husband than to show the world her potential. She then runs away from home to distract the police and twists her ankle. This is a light and somewhat sad story but I highly recommend it for all Wild Card and science fiction fans.
