Polly Lewis had, and was willing to admit it to herself, a pretty lucky life. She loved where she lived, Vermont. Loved the people she lived with, her parents and her grandmother. Well, her brother Rusty lived in the house, too, but even Polly didn't expect everything to be perfect. She loved her horse, Blondel, and her best friend, Kate. She and Kate had been best friends since kindergarten, and had made the mistake of not really needing any other friends. Now Kate was moving to California and didn't seem to mind at all that she was leaving Polly behind for good.
