Tender story of mothers, daughters and the appeal of
football players
Cam has raised her daughter Aubrey alone ever since her ex
left to join a cult. But now the bond between mother and
daughter seems to have disappeared. While Cam is frantic to
see Aubrey, a straight-A student, at the perfect college, on
a path that Cam is sure will provide her daughter success
and happiness, Aubrey suddenly shows no interest in her
mother’s plans. Even the promise of an exciting gap year
saving baby seals or bringing clean water to remote villages
hasn’t tempted her. She prefers pursuing a life with her
wrong-side-of-the-tracks football-hero boyfriend and her own
secret hopes. Both mourn the gap that has grown between them, but Cam and
Aubrey seem locked in a fight without a winner. Can they
both learn how to hold onto dreams . . . and when to let go
to grasp something better? Sarah Bird’s trademark
laugh-out-loud humor joins with the tears that accompany
love in a combination that reveals the fragile yet tough
bonds of mother and daughter.
