However, she doesn’t trust that what she sees is worthy of expressing, and as a result she never snaps a picture.nnWhen the family stops at a rundown gas station in the middle of nowhere, Maggie’s feelings of being invisible are intensified when she is accidentally left behind. However, inside the gas station, Maggie meets June, the desert-worn, reclusive proprietor who spends her days tooling leather to heal a broken heart. Despite June’s initial gruffness, she sees in Maggie a fellow artist and kindred spirit. Seen as an individual for the first time in her life, Maggie discovers that if she can muster the courage to speak up and express what she sees, she may not be invisible after all.
