Independence Day

A small town is a hard place to have a big dream.

Mary Ann Taylor loves the comforts of her hometown in Mercury, Texas. She has a steady job as a waitress in her father's diner, yet she can't help but feel unfulfilled by a life of pouring coffee and grilling hamburgers. Her real passion is photography, but pursuing her dream of becoming a photographer means leaving Mercury behind.
