Come along with me to a time long ago and visit Sam, a boy orphaned in the 1880's Kansas territory. It's Christmas Eve and a blustery winter storm finds Sam stranded in the barn. Suddenly the barn door opens enough to allow a thoroughbred Arabian horse into the light. Not only is this horse beautiful, she is about to give birth Combine all that with life on a ranch, a horse thief, a mysterious cowboy, a girl like no other, every boy's dream of owning a horse, and you have a great story
