At fifteen Jamie Maxwell s main goals in life are to make the United States youth national soccer pool move past the Incident-That-Shall-Not-Be- Named and maybe-someday-kiss a girl. When she meets Emma Blakeley at a tournament in Southern California something about the older girl draws her in. And it isn t that she expects to ever get the chance to kiss Emma. Really. When Jamie invites her to sneak out on the last night of Surf Cup Emma doesn t go because she likes Jamie s smile. She goes because as the daughter of a surgeon and a nurse she has a genetic predisposition to try to heal people. And Jamie she can tell is wounded. Neither girl suspects that this first last night together will form the basis of a bond that will last across years and miles from SoCal soccer fields and New York hotels to Portuguese beaches and the streets of Vancouver. But that s how most friendships begin isn t it? With a smile and a nod and the courage to ask Do you maybe possibly want to come with me?
