From the moment I saw Lily Larson-lost in the middle of campus-I knew she was a golden girl. She's blessed with charm, beauty, and confidence. Yet out of all the guys in my Swedish hometown, she chose me. I'm not questioning why because Lily is my sunshine in the dark Nordic night. She awakens a romantic side I didn't know I possessed. Everything was perfect until the day she left, when my awkwardness made our break-up especially painful. Now Lily won't even talk to me. My one slim chance to win her back is a hockey try-out in her hometown in Canada. But to get there, I'll have to polish my rusty goaltending skills and-hardest of all-leave the family that I've been holding together for five years. Even then, there's a chance that all my sacrifices will come to nothing. But I must try because Lily means that much to me.
