A wild and dangerous mountain setting and a daughter who lives, breathes and sleeps horses is a recipe for trouble for ranch owner, Sandy Scott. But Kirstie is undaunted by her mother's warnings. She's at her happiest riding the trails through the tall forests and deep canyons of the Meltwater Range . . .
Golden Dawn, a sorrel mare, gives birth to a foal, Tatum. But when flash floods pour down from the mountains, they wreak havoc in the meadow and little Tatum goes missing. Could the foal have survived the flood? Kirstie and Golden Dawn set off downriver to find out.
