As a school project, Angela must trace her roots to see if her ancestors were of any significance to Tapwater Springs, even to see if Angela was related to the people who owned Miss Netty, the cow who saved Tapwater Springs from a wildfire on February 11, 1901. Angela eventually finds out that the Manior family owned Miss Netty, but through pieces of a photo she discovers that the cow was actually the one who started the fire.
