description: Heartland is a horse farm nestled in the hills of Virginia, but it's much more than that. Heartland is a place like no other - a place where the scars of the past can be healed, a place where frightened and abused horses learn to trust again. It's been a long time since Amy has seen her father. Now she's waiting for someone who seems like a stranger to arrive and shatter the peace of Heartland. After twelve years apart, how can he be her father now? Will he understand who she is, and what matters in her world? Amy's life is Heartland and its work - but then horses are her father's life, too. With all that's come between them, can their love of horses bring them together again.
