Ever since the catastrophe in Ponyville, Trixie's life has been nothing but miserable. She isn't respected as a performer, can't legitimately hold down any other sort of job, and has made enemies in all the wrong places. Now, out of house and home, she begins to strongly consider simply ending it all. Until she meets a mentally disabled single mother who teaches her that life is all about pushing through to the end. This is the tale of their trials and discoveries in the city of Manehattan. This is the story of how Derpy Hooves brought hope back to the heart of the Great and Powerful Trixie.
