- Synopsis
- Seventeen-year-old Leah Weiczynkowski, about to begin her senior year of high school, is on the brink of realizing her dream -- playing soccer for the under-eighteen national team, her gateway to the World Cup and the Olympics. Everything she's worked for in her young life has been about this moment. She can't wait to tell her dad, her biggest fan and her faithful chauffeur to games and practices. Unfortunately, her dad, Pete Weiczynkowski, has news of his own. "Going for the Record" addresses Leah's passion for her sport, her love for her father, and her growing recognition of her father's faith and bravery. Loosely based on the author's own experience, "Going for the Record" is a coming-of-age story on a number of levels, as Leah must question everything that's mattered most to her and how she will define herself in the future.
