A black colt, born on the raw and rugged landscape, faces terror and abandonment after a storm leaves him trapped in a deep canyon, left behind by his dam and herd as they ran for their lives. When Joey, an eleven-year-old boy, rescues him and sends him on his way, it is only the beginning . . . or was it only a dream?

Joey lost his mother, Myra, less than a year ago. Since her death, Joey's father, Jack, has become more and more distant, wanting nothing to do with the son that reminds him of his wife and the great loss in his life.

Big Poppa, an Appaloosa horse, becomes Joey's best friend, confidante, and partner in saving a young mustang colt—but at a great cost. Can saving a black colt, not once, but twice, bring a turn of events that will change Joey's life and the lives of those on Jack Bailey's ranch?
