Sixteen-year-old Vicky Miller feels overloaded since her parents filed
for divorce. Her mother got the house and a new job. Her step-dad has
the new car and a new girlfriend. Vicky has the five kids, her younger
half-brothers and sisters who range from 18 months to 10 years old to
look after and her own life now comes second to their needs and wants.
It's been six months of house-cleaning, baby-sitting, cooking, non-stop
laundry and Vicky is through waiting for her life to improve. She has
plans for her sophomore year at Lincoln High and they don't include
being an unpaid servant. If it takes a constant battle to attend her
riding classes and complete her internship at Shamrock Stable, she's
ready to fight for her goal to be the best natural horse trainer around.
Her parents may not have time for her to be with horses, but she has
dreams no one can steal. Why should she give them away? But will keeping
them mean she loses her family?
