Casey — Penny Jo Shoup

Casey is given a second chance after purposely poisoning John's horse and framing Jessica. She is expected to volunteer two days a week at Charity's handicapped riding program and work as a teller at a bank to earn the money to pay for vet bills. Casey is appalled at the thought of working with the children. Instead of seeing her new responsibilities as an opportunity to avoid incarceration, Casey sees it as a prison without walls. Casey uses her cunningness to attempt escaping her predicament instead of changing and taking responsibility for her actions. Despite Charity's encouragement and the attentions of Charity's handsome right hand man, Timothy, Casey fights with all her might to escape her situation. When her selfishness almost destroys Jessica and Kyle, Casey decides it's time for a change only to find no one can trust her. Is it too late to have a lasting relationship with anyone? When she makes the decision to stop hurting others and trying to help she realizes changing on the outside without change on the inside is a very frustrating place to be.
