Plot Summary of Lori : The Circle of Friends, Book I
"Dreaming of a Gold Medal, Lori had spent her entire life preparing to compete in the Olympics. Swimming was the only thing she knew and Lori poured endless hours into her training every day. She was focused, determined and had the attitude of a winner. There was something missing, though. There was no one to share in her victories and encourage her to greater heights. School and swimming could no longer fill the void in her life. Then one fateful day she met a young man who would change her life forever.

The high school quarterback, Jason has dreams of playing professionally one day. He is confident, bold and charismatic. Lori's gentle, optimistic attitude intrigues him. Through Jason, Lori discovers her inner strength. His confidence in her results in Lori's increased performance once she reaches college. As his affections renew her hope, and they get closer, her joy and love ripples out to touch their friends as well. Lori realizes that one person's passion and belief can make a difference.

Will it be enough to help her achieve her lifelong dream? Though married, many miles separate their colleges, and they must rely on friends and family to keep them going. Lori and Jason are young and still have many challenges to face. "
