Amanda used to love her mom more than anyone, but now she is sick and tired of her attitude. All of Amanda's friends at school ditching her, she only has one friend left; Tyson. Amanda decides to Run Away to L.A. with Tyson, thinking to start fresh and maybe go to an NCAA school. But there are a lot more bumps in the road than she counted for, and getting a reputation for Basketball in L.A. is even harder than dealing with her father's death. Will Amanda realize that running away from reality doesn't actually make it disappear?

rebound | Aubrey Griffin
Jayla Rivers was a rising star in high school basketball-strong, fast, and sharp with a court vision beyond her years. When UConn offered her a scholarship, it was everything she'd dreamed of. But the timing wasn't kind. Just a week after her acceptance, her father-her biggest supporter and her first coach-took his own life. Now, Jayla steps onto UConn's campus not only with the weight of expectations but with a grief she doesn't know how to carry. She hides behind her game, pouring herself into training and burying the pain. The coaches notice her potential, the media watches her rise, but no one sees how close she is to falling apart. Then there's Aubrey Griffin-UConn's junior wing, explosive on the court, calm off it, and someone who's no stranger to injury, pressure, and the quiet battles players fight in silence. What starts as a few moments of shared court time and awkward conversations turns into late-night shooting drills, unspoken support, and something softer growing in the cracks of Jayla's grief. As the season intensifies, so does Jayla's struggle to cope. But with Aubrey's quiet strength beside her and the team slowly becoming a second family, she begins to understand that healing isn't linear-and love, like basketball, is about trust, timing, and never giving up after a hard fall. Rebound is a story about grief, growth, and the unexpected ways love can find you-even when you think you're too broken to receive it.Complete
