Her first is for a bride and groom who want a pirate wedding.Fourteen-year-old Juniper McGuire is the surviving member of a family decimated by a local kidnapping.

Now disabled and in constant pain, he came to California to photograph the giant trees of the state.Jo-Ann Mapson''s deeply felt, wise and warm portrayal of broken souls finding their way back to humanity shows how these three people - along with a host of dogs, horses and goats -enter and transform each other''s lives.>
