When Twilight awakes one morning to a furious pounding on the doors of Castle Friendship, she assumes someone has a very dire friendship problem.

When she opens the door to find an abandoned newborn colt, not a guardian in sight, her whole world turns upside down.

At the prospect of the little foal going to an orphanage, Twilight puts her hoof down, and adopts the colt.

Investigations turn up a terrible orphanage, and a mistreated mare.

Follow along on Twilight's journey of finding love, sleepless nights, sick foals, and the trials and tribulations of motherhood, with a newfound love by her side.

Mild Parental Abuse mentions and descriptions later on, chapters discussing it in any detail will have a warning in the authors notes at the top.
