En route to college in the summer of 1975, sensible
seventeen-year old Amy gets stuck in small town Colorado when
the 1958 Pontiac Bonneville Sports Coupe driven by her
insufferable tiara-toting mom, Francie--former Queen of the
Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, Corn Festival -- surrenders to a
mortally wounded transmission. It doesn’t take long to
realize that thirty-three-year-old Francie is out of money
and in no hurry to let go of her daughter, so the two unpack
indefinitely. Amy finds work at a funeral home, a place
where her unlikely Christian faith can work itself out among
the town’s young and old, geeks and jocks, hippies and
clergy alike. Trying not to judge her mom’s serial
boyfriend escapades, Amy ends up in a tragic love triangle
herself which gives both mother and daughter the chance to
do some real growing up. But in a surprise twist, their road
to healing still has many miles to go in 2008 as they travel
back to Sleepy Eye in that old ’58 coupe.
