When 12-year-old Nathaniel and his two sisters, Cid and Queenie, discover an ad for a free pony in the paper, they can hardly believe their luck. They can have it as long as they can afford to take care of it. Even when their mother lets them keep it, life is a struggle. Things have been hard for the family since their dad walked out four years ago. The pony gives them hope and a reason to stop bickering... until a fire destroys the barn...
