Inspired by the hit song by Michael Martin Murphey - and the Legend of the Cherokee Ghose Horse - WILDFIRE tells a story of redemption and forgiveness as a young girl deals with her guilt following the sudden and tragic death of her father. With the family facing financial ruin, the survivors move to Oklahoma to live with the girl’s grandmother outside of Tahlequah, atop Sparrowhawk Mountain. Emotionally lost and distraught, young Samantha finds peace from the attentions she receives from a mysterious wild horse that seems to be following her as she walks home from school each day. Eventually, Samantha is able to contact and ride the horse - and with training - she enters competitive rodeo barrel racing and begins to accept her new situation and friends. But her guilt remains, as Samantha hides the dark secret that she is responsible for her father’s death. She cannot forgive herself. But, with the help of a local Cherokee Spiritual leader, her riding trainer and the wisdom of a local pastor, Samantha comes to realize a greater truth and a solace to her worries.
