Wrongly accused of injuring another student, Taren is lucky to be able to escape to the “secret” stables at the school. Her good friends stand by her, but that friendship is sorely tested by the new girl who has become enamoured by Taren’s best friend, Max. It doesn’t help that the girl’s mother is a teacher at the school.

At the same time, Taren’s mum finally admits that Taren has a grandmother, aunt and cousins who she has never met. Surprisingly, they own a rather fabulous stud farm where Taren’s late father was brought up. Can Taren fit in with this new family, or should she carry on as if they don’t exist?

Trying to negotiate the trials and tribulations at school as well as learning about her unknown family certainly tests Taren. How can she cope with it all?
