California girl

In California, swimming was important and Jennie was determined to be an Olympic competitor. But at her families new home in Texas, football is all anyone cares about. Jennie is alone, an outsider, "that weird Californian girl".

Then she meets Mark. He was a football star until a serious injury left him on crutches. Nobody pays much attention to Mark since his accident - except Jennie. She's seen his beautiful drawings and is falling in love with his artistic soul. Secretly, Jennie enters Mark's drawings in a contest, and overnight Mark has his star status back. But he may be leaving Jennie behind. Jennie is so hurt and confused that she isn't concentrating on her swimming. Did Mark ever really care for her? Is Jennie losing her love and her chance at her Olympic dream?
