Shiloh is settling in nicely with Marty and his family, but Judd Travers continues to make himself a nuisance, drinking and driving, hunting illegally on land belonging to Marty's family, and threatening to take Shiloh back. Now that he's saved Shiloh, kind-hearted Marty wants to save Judd, despite the fact that Judd wants nothing to do with him. Marty and Judd both face, as Doc Wallace says, "the tests of life" for which there are no simple resolutions. Marty confront s a dilemma kids often face alone: deciding when it's right to keep one's word and when the greater good is to break it; distinguishing truth from gossip and learning how gossip can hurt; and finding out that both kindness and cruelty must be learned and can be taught.
