15 year old Esme has lived on a dairy farm ever since she can remember. She's seen countless calves born, raised, and sold. Even though she knows that most calves are in her life for a short amount of time, she loves to feed and take care of them. And she's always been good about following the number one rule of farm life: don't get attached.
Then one day, Esme witnesses the birth of a new bull calf with crippled front legs and instantly falls in love. But the same cannot be said of her father. He intends to shoot the deformed calf.
After managing to convince her father to spare the calf's life, Esme sets out to raise money to correct his deformity, despite having a deadline of two months. After all, Rudy will likely die of natural causes by the time those two months are up anyway.
Can Esme save Rudy's life?
