Gertie the Sussex chicken has always been curious about what lies beyond her farmyard. When she spots some colorful butterflies fluttering gracefully in the distance, she follows them past wheat fields, brooks, and trees -- until it grows dark, and she realizes the farm is nowhere in sight.

Gertie decides to see where her feet will take her. What she finds is Willow, a jackrabbit who loves exploring as much as she does. As they travel together through the tough Texas terrain, they make more new friends, each with unique strengths that help them overcome the dangers they face. But their greatest adventure is yet to come -- the search for a place they can all call home.
