Marcia is seventeen, and along with Darryl, has moved south in Alaska to attend the Anchorage campus of the Alaska State University. She wants to pursue her dream, but will it pursue her instead?

AM
Marcia
arose and hurried through her morning routine, then hurried out to
help Bruce feed the animals. She really wanted to get to
the horses. There was one that she absolutely loved, and secretly
wished was hers. He was a palomino, and greatly resembled the horse
Roy Rogers rode in all of his movies.
When
she realized she would be on a farm where there were horses, she
decided that she wanted to learn about them. Thus, she had decided
to research all she could. When she came across information on the
famous palomino, she’d watched as many films as she could find
with the old western star and his master.
