1996 was the year that changed everything for Maggie Dawes. Sent
away at sixteen to live with an aunt she barely knew in Ocracoke,
a remote village on North Carolina?s Outer Banks, she could think
only of the friends and family she left behind until she met
Bryce Trickett, one of the few teenagers on the island. Handsome,
genuine, and newly admitted to West Point, Bryce showed her how
much there was to love about the wind-swept beach town?and
introduced her to photography, a passion that would define the
rest of her life.By 2019, Maggie is a renowned travel
photographer. She splits her time between running a successful
gallery in New York and photographing remote locations around the
world. But this year she is unexpectedly grounded over Christmas,
struggling to come to terms with a sobering medical diagnosis.
