From the Back Cover

"I have to have that horse. And I'll do whatever it takes to get her."
Twelve-year-old Winnie Willis loves horses-just like her mother did. But since her mom died two years ago, Winnie, her sister, Lizzy, and her father have moved five times. Winnie never cared much-until now. She has a chance to buy the horse of her dreams at an upcoming auction-but how will she ever earn enough money? More importantly, how can she possibly convince her dad not to move them to another town . . . again?
