Christy had nowhere to go and out of desperation she began to hitch hike, and that's how she met Jack. He always did have a thing for strays and she definitely looked the part. He gave her two days to consider if she wanted him to help her, and then left her alone to think it over. She used that time to rest and when it was over she was ready for him to take her home. Unfortunately, there wasn't much home for her to go back to. Her mom was gone and her daddy was in the pen for murder. Her momma had finally gotten up the courage to leave and there was now way he was going to let that happen. Even though she was now an orphan Jack had a plan. He had a place he could take her and they would be willing to help as long as she was willing to let them.

When they arrived at a Waffle House Christy doesn't waste any time ordering the biggest meal on the menu. Jennifer could tell it had been a long time since she had ate so well and figured she could probably use it. Christy's biological father died during the Vietnam War. Four years later her mother would marry again, and this time not to someone nearly as loving. He was great in the beginning of course, they usually are, but it wasn't long before he quit working and became physically abusive. Christy was looking for any excuse to get out of that place and one day that opportunity rolled up in a shiny Trans Am. Those were the good times, but it all changed when the pregnancy test came back positive. His response to this news was everything she had feared and after that she knew she had to get out.

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.
