      The prom is no big deal to
      Ashley.  She considers herself one of the normal kids in her school. 
      She has no plans for college and doesn't take school too seriously. 
      After graduation, she and her boyfriend TJ will get jobs and then move
      into an apartment together  Ashley's best friend  Nat has other
      ideas.  Nat is looking forward to college and expects to get enough
      scholarships that she can actually afford a good school.  And she
      is the chair of the prom committee.  When the math teacher embezzles
      the prom committee funds, it looks like the end of Nat's dream of a magical
      night.  Who would have ever thought that Ashley could come up with
      an idea to save the prom?  And who would
      believe she would actually
      work to help save the night?  With the help support of her interesting
      family and Nat's eccetric grandmother, things may just work out after all.

      Annabel Greene seems to have
      it all. However, that is not the case. At school, she is shunned because
      she's hiding secrets about an end of the year party. At home, family peace
      hangs in the balance because she's hiding sec

      rets about her sister's anorexia.
      Her life is changed when she meets Owen Armstrong, the school's loner who
      is obsessed with music and telling the truth.

    • Annabel Green gets to play
      a teen that has everything as a model on a commercial for Kopf’s Department
      Store-top student, popular, cheerleader.  What few people realize,
      including her own family, is that she’s just the opposite.  Her friends
      shun her at school, her sister suffers from a serious eating disorder,
      and she doesn’t really find joy in doing her modeling anymore.  In
      fact she feels like she’s only doing it to keep her mother happy.

    • “Hey, I've got no illusions
      about love...It comes, it goes, it leaves casualties or it doesn't. People
      weren't meant to be together forever, regardless of what the songs say!”
      Words from Remy, a girl who doesn't believe in love.  And you can
      hardly blame her. Her romance novelist mother is about to get married again
      for the fifth time, and her father, a ‘70s hippie singer, died shortly
      after she was born, leaving her with a one-hit wonder song to remember
      him by. Entitled “This Lullaby,” every time Remy hears it, it seems to
      feel like a “bruise that never quite healed right.” So Remy has become
      an expert at ending relationships before they ever have a chance to get
      serious or cause any hurt. She has rules for keeping the guys she dates
      at arms length. But then Dexter, a quirky, klutzy, alterna-band boy inserts
      himself into her life, and Remy suddenly finds the carefully constructed
      walls around her heart beginning to crumble. This is a love story, no doubt
      about it.  A love story with completely believable characters; Remy’s
      life embracing mother, three dependable friends, wacky band members, but
      especially Remy and Dexter.  And this is a love story about learning
      that loving is taking a chance, it’s risking being hurt yes, but it is
      also risking really feeling totally and completely alive.  Love is
      a leap of faith, and soft landings are never guaranteed. Will Remy ever
      decide it is worth the risk? Read This Lullaby and see.
