Cody's Mom died from cancer years ago, and since then his dad has been an absent alcoholic. Cody has only two things going for him: quarterbacking the football team for a possible college scholarship, and Clea, his feisty girlfriend who also happens to be rich. When Clea's father takes a dislike to Cody, Clea is shipped off to visit her uncle in Hong Kong for the summer. That isn't enough to keep them apart, so her dad sends her off to a boarding school across the country, in Vermont. When Cody tears his ACL in a spectacularly bad hit, his football season is over. Unmotivated, he drops out of school and works making deliveries for a local lumber company. When he learns that Clea is missing, he drives from Colorado to VT hoping to help find her, ending up neck-deep in a lot of small-town/rich-boarding-school-kid secret. A page turner with likable characters.
