Adjusting to life in a new country is challenging—she struggles with language barriers, loneliness, and the pressure to meet her family’s expectations. However, she finds comfort and connection in Wild Girl, a spirited young horse at her father’s racing stable. As Lidie and Wild Girl form a bond, they both learn to trust, adapt, and find their place in a new world.
