    As time passed Christy sank deeper into her old ways until it resulted in a night in jail.  This prompted a visit from Jack, but it was too late.  She was too far gone.  He made the mistake of pushing her out of the Community too early which resulted in her just pushing him away.  Christy always regretted the way they had left things, but there was nothing she could do about it now.  Then again Jennifer saw her own redemption in acting as confessor and picking up where her father had left off.  Jennifer helped Christy find a little peace and at the same time found her independence.  Christy was going to get another chance and Jennifer finally committed herself to living her life on her own terms.

    Life was good on the farm.  Christy had her struggles of course, but through it all the work, the food, and the lifestyle helped to make her healthier, stronger, and happier than she had ever been.  That is of course until Christy had her baby.  The loss of her child proved to be a dark turning point in her life.  With Jacks help she was eventually able to accept her daughter's passing, but the scare never faded.  The next few years went by in a blur and before anyone knew it she was 18.  After her birthday she did what everyone expected her to do.  She got a job, an apartment, and once again with Jack's help she even started classes at a local community college. This was the first time she had ever lived alone and her old habits worked well to help her make friends.

    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.
