Emily, Minnesota

Seventeen year-old Emily Carlson is just about done with her small town in Northern Minnesota. She hopes college will be her ticket out. But just when she's made up her mind to go, complications develop in the form of Nick Lundquist, a fellow senior who saves her life and steals her heart, and an endless wait list at the University. Will she think of something big to get her foot in the door with Admissions? Will she have to choose between Nick and her dreams? Little does she know that she will first learn answers to even bigger questions.
