All Mormon teens look forward to the magical age of sixteen,
when they can at last drive and date.
Juliet finds the transition as perfect as she imagined: now she has a boyfriend, a car, a
starring role on the school basketball team.
But as the year brings changes, sixteen is no longer all she hoped
for. Dealing with her sister’s bulimia,
a breakup, and a new coach who won’t let her play basketball challenges
Juliet’s ideal year. Can she find the
strength to learn from these situations while keeping her faith?
