Untamed

Sophomore Mandy Burns doesn't know which way to turn. Due to her parents'
divorce, she and her mother have had to leave the small rural town they loved
and move to her grandmother's house in the big city. Mandy hates her new
school. Her grades are poor and she has no friends. Only one girl, Lindsey
Morris, has even spoken to her.
Mandy is studying in the school library when she overhears the school's star
quarterback, Gary Wells, tell his friend that he will use a date rape drug
on Lindsey if she won't cooperate with him. When he realizes Mandy has
overheard, Gary pinches her shoulders and tells her to keep her mouth shut.
Mandy is grounded because of her poor grades, but she can't let Gary hurt
Lindsey. Worried, she sneaks out of the house and goes to Lindsey's home
to warn her. Mandy's mother catches her and grounds her for another three
months. Mandy sobs on her grandmother's shoulder, telling her that her life is
miserable and only a miracle can help.
Her grandmother has a friend who is selling a horse. The horse was once welltrained,
but it has grown wild and needs someone to work with it. Mandy has
always wanted a horse, but had to give up her dream when they moved to the
big city. Her mother agrees and together they work out a way to get the horse.
Mandy will have to work at the barn to help pay for the horse's board. Is this
the miracle Mandy needs to turn her life around?
