Candice White is a young girl who was abandoned on the doorstep of the "Pony Home" orphanage as a baby. The sisters named her first name after a doll in her basket labeled "Candy," and her surname after the snowstorm during which she was rescued. Life is quiet and happy... or... as quiet as it can be with Candy around. She has a knack for getting into trouble, climbing trees, and tussling with the best of them. However, tragedy begins to strike.
