both of them attempt to pull the unlikely pair apart. Landon is an experienced jock and Jamie has

and Landon seem to prove that opposites attract. Through her spiritual belief system and her
outlook on life, Landon begins to see the world for its possibilities. While he becomes a better
person, this puts him at odds with friends he has known his entire life. But the hope of young
love is threatened by a secret Jamie eventually reveals which threatens their future happiness.
