Joanna Conors had never paid much attention to the guys during her senior year of high school she was too busy with homework, the pom squad, and her part-time job at the Omega Highland Toy Store to think about love. But when her relationships with members of the opposite sex start going in new directions all at once, she finds herself struggling with contradictions between the messages of society and her own conservative value system. Wrestling with the maintenance of her strong moral convictions, Joanna now has to find her place in a time of life when nothing is guaranteed.

Freundschaft the German translation for "friendship" takes you through those riveting days of high school drama in the mid-1990s, when people had real relationships without cell phones, text messaging, and rampant social media. Joanna's journey into adulthood, one day at a time in her simple life, starts here in Omega Highland.
