| Falling in Love . . .
Shelly fells as if she's living in a fantasyland. She's spending
the school year in southern California, where flowers bloom in November,
oranges grow on trees, and lawns are mowed in winter. When the star
of the basketball team smiles at her, Shelly feels as if she's been
touch by magic. Now she's about to discover the magic of falling
in love!
Rebelling against her mother's lack of understanding, 16-year-old
Shelley Latham persuades her parents to send her to live in California
for a year. While away, Shelley comes to realize that mother-daughter
conflicts are a normal part of growing up.
