He listens and hears what she has to say about horse whispering. She says, "There is nothing magic about working with horses. It is a way of being. When you want to honor anyone --- human, horse, dog, doesn't matter --- and you speak from deep within your quiet true self, they will hear your intention and respond accordingly." Delbert wants to be with Cora again. Can he use the lessons of horse whispering to guide him back to Cora? Cora hears a song and knows that love is the only answer, but is it enough?

Cora's independence and liberated ideas is the fuel when everything comes crashing down. A lesbian relationship adds fuel the fire of bigotry and hatred. Cora's life is in jeopardy. Will love, honor, friendship be enough?
