After recovering from a serious car accident, seventeen-year-old Kate decides to change her rebellious ways and live the gospel principles taught by her Mormon ancestors.

Laurie Clark, a senior in high school, begins writing impassioned pleas in the student newspaper regarding popularity and Church standards. Alienating her peers, she discovers how difficult it is to stand for her principles but finds support from a young man who happens to be a Baptist.

As she faces decisions about college, marriage, and whether or not to serve a mission of the Mormon Church, Kate recognizes the need to get on with her life.
