As she digs into the hidden troubles of her old friend, Amy gains fresh insight into her own life and the meaning of stewardship, friendship, and future ambition. This installment of the Heartland series blends realistic horse care, rural setting, and the emotional growth of teenage girls navigating life's gentle rails.
