Sixteen-year-old Miranda Stevens's herd of horses has grown since she inherited her black stallion, Starlight, and a few others from the late Cash Taylor. Her father helps her realize she can’t expect her parents and grandparents to keep footing the bill for her growing family of thoroughbreds. She must find a way to make her horse ranch pay. She loves every one of her horses and can’t think of one she’d be willing to part with. Racing is not a sure thing, she learns, and can cost more in money and heartache than it yields. She will have to sell some to keep others, and that’s the saddest thing she can think of—until she loses a friend. Horse trading brings a handsome young man into her life. His attention is pleasing at first, but when jealousy and misunderstanding drive Christopher Bergman, away, she admits he had become more than just a friend to her. Many mishaps, tragedies, and lessons learned the hard way as well as new friendships, more horses, joys and triumphs fill the pages of this eighth episode in Miranda and Starlight's lives.
