" I hate it when I read a book I've borrowed that turns out to be so good because then I want to own it. This series by Catherine Gilbert Murdock are ones I want to have on my bookshelf so I can loan them to my daughters and sisters and friends. They are uplifting and funny and great stories. In this last book, D.J. is trying to decide where she should go to college. Coming from a poor family who are trying just to hang on to their dairy farm, she realizes the only way she can go to college is to get a basketball scholarship, but can she overcome her natural background-type personality to be the star-quality basketball player that colleges will want to pick up? She certaily has the ball talent, but does she have the leadership ability? And does she really want the pressure that comes from being that kind of a ballplayer? Her struggles to decide if she is good enough for a Division 1 ball team parallels her struggles to decide if she dares risk her heart pursuing a boyfriend that she feels is out of her league. Great humor, great characters, great insights--really well-written story and series. "
