Cali Thomas has been alone her whole life. She's never had parents, but has been to just about every foster home in the state. By a chance of fate, Cali discovers that she is very talented at placekicking for her High School football team, and gets signed to play for Carrington State University. Between sharing a dorm with nine other boys, having to change in a closet, and keeping up an academic scholarship, Cali has her hands full. Fortunately, she meets Jason Pitt, a quarterback protege who somehow manages to keep up with her. Together, they venture through Cali's first year of adulthood, and take their team right to the edge of success."
Rachel LeSage studied foreign languages at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois. After years of writing essays in multiple languages, she began writing down all of her wildest daydreams. A combination of the love of writing and the sheer desire to create almost inhumanly perfect people inspired Rachel to write about Cali and Jason, and she aspires to continue her stories, even if they only ever exist on her computer screen.
Sweet portrayal of a tough young girl securing her place. Dialogue and relationships rang true. The background story of placekicker for a D1 school not so much. Rotating kickers, no tense field goals, etc. was off. Still a nice tale.
