Following the death of their husband and father, Logan, Carol Ainsley and her 12-year old daughter, Jill, help a horse desperately in need of someone to love him. When they do, they have no idea how much he will rescue them from their grief and help rebuild their lives. From the moment Official Business, Biz for short, wins their hearts, to the day Carol and Jill bring him home, their path is fraught with twists and turns. Biz's homecoming would not have been possible without the efforts of some special women and one beloved man, who move mountains to make it happen. Follow them on their journey and embrace the possibility that when loved ones die, their spirits remain close. Logan built a barn so Jill could have a horse waiting in the paddock when she comes home from school. He dreamed of a horse that looks just like Biz. Does Logan bring Biz to them from the other side? As Biz reveals his life story, we learn that owning a horse is not just about winning ribbons. It takes love and kindness, the building blocks of trust, to foster the partnership that leads to the true magic of horse ownership. Biz's Journey Home is about life and death, grief, and families. Sometimes, the best family is not the one we are born into. Now and again, it is instead the family we create from those who love and lift us.
