A little girl named Candice White was abandoned on the threshold of the 'Pony Home', an orphanage, as a newborn. The nuns chose her first name from a figurine she carried, bearing the inscription 'Candy', and her surname from the blizzard that sheltered her rescue. Life here is tranquil and content... or at least as serene as it can be with Candice nearby. She loves mischief, scaling trees, and squabbles with the finest of her peers. Yet sorrow soon arrives in the quiet halls where hope echoes softly together again.
