Within the Heart

As a young girl, Jessie feels an instant connection with Samantha, the new girl who lives across the street. From day one they become close friends and do everything together in their small town, Blue Creek. Jessie was born intellectually slower than kids her own age and as she matures, she will still view the world with a child-like personality. Despite what others may think, Samantha never treats Jessie differently. As years pass, teenage hormones begin to stir and Jessie's feelings for Samantha grow stronger than friendship. In small ways, Jessie expresses how she feels, but it is difficult when the girl she's in love with has a boyfriend and is part of the high school in crowd. Through traumatic events and emotional struggles will Samantha ever return Jessie's undying love? See how these two characters discover what is really within the heart.
