Toni Hudson

The true story of novelist Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, who retreated in 1928 to an isolated citrus grove in order to write. Leaving behind her comfortable New York city life - and her marriage - she faced the backwoods alone. Her experiences in the swampy scrub country and the lives of her rustic neighbors became the subjects of her books and in the land and the people she found inspiration and love.

She's 18. She's great-looking. And now Terry Grifith is about to set off an epidemic of comic hysteria when she enrolls in a new high school... as Just One of the Guys! Terry (Joyce Hyser) blames sexism after her journalism teacher refuses to enter her article in a competition to win a summer internship on the local newspaper. With the help of her kid brother, Buddy (Billy Jacoby), she masquerades as a male at a rival school and enters the contest there. During her charade, "Terry the Boy" tangles with a vicious bully, Greg (William Zabka), and fends off an amorous classmate, Sandy (Sherilyn Fenn). But when she falls for a handsome loner, Rick (Clayton Rohner), our hero/heroine must find a way to convince him that she's not Just One of the Guys!

Convinced that she is not being taken seriously because of her looks, a pretty teenage girl enrolls in a new high school disguised as a boy, setting off a chain of events leading to comic hysteria, and more than a little social awareness.
