Trapped in a three-room Houston apartment shared with her son and daughter-in-law, Carrie Watts dreams of visiting Bountiful, the Gulf Coast town where she grew up and raised her own family. She steals away with her latest pension check, and although her trip is doomed by the family’s call to the police, the sheriff who tracks her down at the bus station carries her on out to her old homestead. Her trip reaches a bittersweet end, but it proves to have been a journey of the heart worth taking.
