Dairy Queen is the story of D.J. Schwenk. A fifteen year old dairy farm
girl, who doesn't talk much, and who's whole life is taking care of her
father's farm. She gets up early every morning, milks the cows, cleans
the barn, cuts the grass, loads the hay, and does almost all of it
herself. When her grades start falling, and her home life gets to be
almost unbearable, she finds herself with an unlikely friendship. Brian
Nelson, a rival high school football quarterback, starts working on the
farm to gain more strength for the upcoming football season, and she
soon finds herself as his personal trainer. Thinking he is the same as
all the other football jocks, she doesn't have anything nice to say to
him. At first. As time goes by, and they start to open up to one
another, D.J. is suddenly caught up in a whirlwind of emotions. Add in
a brother who rarely talks, two older brother's who were star football
players, left home in anger after a fight with her parents, and haven't
been heard from since. A father who doesn't listen, a mother who has
secrets of her own, and a girl who loves football, and you have a great
story about friendship, love, trust, heartbreak, and determination.
