But when her dad's away, her mom is too busy, and the stable itself is under threat, Lila feels like no one is listening-except Dusty.
With the help of an unlikely ally, Jace, Lila comes up with a daring plan to save Mosswood. But when things go wrong, and Dusty gets hurt, Lila has to face her biggest fear: what if she can't save everything she loves?
