Maggie is a smart, hard-working, responsible teenager who wants to become a doctor. She is given a great chance to try her skills when she is hired to care for an ailing elderly woman. They take a genuine liking to each other--and her grandson is the shool basketball strar that Maggie has been pining over. But he has a girlfriend, and Maggie is being pursued by an all-too-serious suitor herself. This delightful and entertaining novel is as much an exploration of values and perceptions as is of young and romantic love.
