Description
Seventeen-year-old Leah Weicynkowski is on the brink of achieving her dream of playing for the under-eighteen national team. Her passion for soccer has been all-consuming, but everything changes when she receives news that will make her re-evaluate her priorities. Her father, a constant source of support and encouragement, reveals he has pancreatic cancer and may not have much time left. This diagnosis forces Leah to confront the uncertainty of her own future and the sacrifices she's made for her sport. As Leah navigates this difficult time, she must come to terms with what truly matters most to her. A poignant coming-of-age story, Going for the Record explores the complexities of love, loss, and identity in the face of adversity.
