It takes time, but at last, one of Andi's ideas is working out. . . until the day she witnesses a back-alley crime that places a beloved citizen at the scene. A divided town and the suspect's vengeful younger bother put pressure on Andi to admit she made a mistake. When her horse, Taffy, disappears, Andi must reexamine her conscience and make a decision: Is the price of telling the truth worth losing Taffy forever?
