Candace "Candy" White is an abandoned infant who grows up at Pony's Home orphanage, developing into a spirited and energetic girl. Her life changes dramatically when her closest friend, Annie, is adopted by a wealthy family after six years together, leaving Candy devastated. While crying on a hill near the orphanage one day, she encounters a mysterious boy dressed in Scottish clothing who plays his bagpipe to soothe her. Since he never reveals his name, Candy fondly refers to him as the "Prince of the Hill." At age twelve, Candy becomes a companion to the mistreated siblings Eliza and Neil Leagen. In this new setting, she meets Anthony Brown, a boy who strongly resembles her childhood acquaintance. Hoping for a reunion with him, Candy embarks on an unforgettable journey.
