NotesObviously from the novel by Danielle Steel and aimed at her audience. A photographer is left paralysed by a horse riding accident. But she heads out west with her wheelchair to take pictures of western things like cowboys and horses. Of course she falls in love with both horse and man and even gets back on a horse. We see her riding the horse but not how she got onto it. In no time she has set up a ranch for children with disabilities to ride horses. We see a number of disabled children and her favourite child who uses crutches is called Timmy and is as lovable as Tiny Tim (cf. Charles Dickens).
