Curses and Blessings
Six months ago, a terrifying accident shattered Stella's world and left her with physical scars and deep-seated fear. Now, on her nineteenth birthday, she's back at Grove Station Farms, the place where her love for horses was born and nearly destroyed. Tasked with teaching a lesson to a skeptical young girl, Stella must confront her trauma, prove herself to a challenging pony, and rediscover the equestrian passion she thought was lost forever. Can she overcome her curses and find the blessings hidden in the barn?
The sign for Grove Station Farms looms before you, instantly triggering a wave of anxiety that prickles your skin. Six months have passed since the accident—six months since the farm became a place of trauma rather than joy.
You pull your silver Jeep into the dusty parking lot, the familiar blue barn looking as imposing as ever. It's your nineteenth birthday, but the oppressive sun and the memories clinging to this place make it feel like anything but a celebration.
Stepping into the barn, the scent of sawdust and horses fills the air, stirring both nostalgia and dread. Mrs. Susie, the cheerful farm owner, greets you with an overly enthusiastic hug, reminding you of your promise to return and the reason for your long absence.
