And once again it's Scoop's job to help find him. In the middle of the night the day before the first day of school! Scoop is really getting kind of fed up with this.

In between that, trying to deal with the social game at school, her brother's manic-depressant behavior, starting the Horsefeathers State business, everything just gets to be too much. What will it take for Scoop to handle all of this? How can loving those who are hard to love help her find the strength God wants to give her? Extra Notes: Horses, girls and loss of parents.

Scoop turns to God to find strength to deal with all the troubles in her life. She also finds comfort in horses and is starting a business as a "Horse-Whisperer" a method of training horses by using gentle approaches rather than traditional.
