She has always put the needs of her family and farm first. Now, the talented horseback rider sets out to pursue fame and fortune as an international showjumper.

When she is overlooked for training in Germany, she fears her dreams may be thwarted. But a fortuitous meeting with a wealthy American businessman, who harbors a love for the sport, presents Petra with a new opportunity. Taking it would mean making hard choices to satisfy her ambition.

The price she must pay to rise to the top is steep. Is she willing to make the sacrifices?
