This story is about the love between a girl and a horse. However, not just love, but denial, refusal, desperation, losing stability, trust, and through painful learning and recognition, finally regaining it all.
But it is also the story about the motherly love and endless patience. It is a complex account of life in, often, unpredictable and confusing circumstances, when difficult decisions and changes are to be made in order to protect beloved ones and keep the family together.

Grace, the main character, had an accident  when Pilgrim, her horse, got scared  on the road. That resulted in her having a broken leg, and being in coma for two weeks. Although she was aware that the horse got scared of the truck and it was not its fault, she was blocked  and could not ride him any-more. Since Pilgrim became a very hostile and they could not sell it, the only remaining solution turned out to be getting  rid of him. However, Grace's mother Annie, realised that if she go rid of the horse, she could lose her daughter too. Both Pilgrim and Grace had survived, but neither of their souls were ever the same.
Annie realised that she and her Grace didn't get on as well as Grace and her father did. Annie had felt very sad about that,  so she needed to help her daughter.  They moved to another part of the country where she found a specialist for troubled horses called a horse whisperer. However the guy Annie found just couldn't understand the state of the horse. It turned out to be a very difficult task as Pilgrim kept on rearing and shying as if it had never been ridden before.  There was a danger that it could hurt other horses, or even people, so it was kept in the stable all the time. This was so bad, that even the vet who saved Pilgrim's life regretted that he ha done that. However, Tom, the horse whisperer, knew that the only way to help the girl was by helping the horse.
