Synopsis

The moment Princess is born, it’s clear she’s an unusual pony. She has an enchanting quality that runs deeper than her outer beauty. At first, Princess lives a charmed life of brown sugar cubes, sweet grass, and adoration. But hard times are ahead, times when she will, like a real princess, need to be brave and wise.

Miles away, Rae has hungered for a pony since she was old enough to say the word pony—just like her mama. But Rae’s mama died when she was young, and her father can’t afford to buy and feed a pony. Rae is determined to make her dream of having a pony come true. The question is how?

The Hungry Place is the story of a pony with a mind of her own and a girl with a spine of steel striving to overcome the hunger of their empty fields and yearning hearts.
