Set against the backdrop of Assateague Island, the narrative weaves themes of family, love for nature, and the strong bond between humans and animals, particularly focusing on Paul and Misty's relationship. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to the Beebe family and their daily life on Pony Ranch, where they care for Misty, who is nearing the time to give birth. As a storm approaches, Paul becomes increasingly concerned about Misty's well-being and the impending arrival of her foal. Various preparations are made, highlighting the family's love and devotion towards the animals.
