Christy's mother had been cremated by the city and they had disposed of the remains.  There was absolutely nothing left for her now.  She couldn't even say goodbye.  The only person she had left was Jack, but as it turned that's all she needed.  He took her to an agrarian commune they called the Community.  There were rules, limits, and she would have to go to school, but as long as Christy could abide by this she was welcome to stay.  The real problem was finding something that she could do that would motivate her enough to stay on the straight and narrow.  As they toured the community the chances that they were going to find something were beginning to dwindle.  That is until they finally made it to the barns, and that's when Christy met the love of her life; a Belgian mare named Molly.
