Other folks have big plans for D.J. Like her coach. College scouts. All the town hoops fans. A certain Red Bend High School junior who?s keen for romance and karaoke. Not to mention Brian Nelson, who she should not be thinking about! Who she is done with, thank you very much. But who keeps showing up anyway . . .

This hilarious, heartbreaking, and triumphant sequel to the critically acclaimed "Dairy Queen" takes D.J. and all the Schwenks from Labor Day to a Thanksgiving football game that readers will never forget. High school junior D.J. staggers under the weight of caring for her badly injured brother, her responsibilities on the dairy farm, a changing relationship with her friend Brian, and her own athletic aspirations.
