A class assignment gets Ellie's horse Dream noticed. She got to keep Dream because she was a "runaway" horse without a home. But now the owners may want her back. How will Ellie cope with losing her beloved backyard horse?
Dealing with loss teaches Ellie an important lesson about God and wanting Him more than anything or anyone else. She also learns about having faith in God's ability to answer our prayers-he has the ability to do it whether or not things turn out the way we want them to (a lesson she learns from Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego-her brother's three pet fish and the Hebrew boys in the Bible!).
