Christine Dunford

Carly Davis, a twice-divorced party planner, marries Jack Farrell, a divorced English teacher. They had three children, one from each of their former marriages.

Monica Wright and Quincy McCall grew up in the same neighborhood and have known each other since childhood. As they grow into adulthood, they fall in love, but they also share another all-consuming passion: basketball. As Quincy and Monica struggle to make their relationship work, they follow separate career paths though high school and college basketball and, they hope, into stardom in big-league professional ball.
