Aging and recent widow Harriet Beamer insists she's getting
along fine with her dog Humphrey in Philadelphia ... until
she falls for the fourth time, injuring her ankle, and
causing her son and daughter-in-law to cry foul. Insisting
Harriet move in with them in California, they make a bet
that her ankle is broken, and she foolishly promises to move
if they're right. Four x-rays later, Harriet's ankle---and
her heart---are broken. She packs up, ships her huge salt
and pepper collection to California, and prepares to move
away from the only life she knows. The only catch? She's
doing it her way. Just wait till her daughter-in-law hears
Harriet will travel cross country only by public
transportation and alternate means. What follows is a
hilarious, heartwarming journey by train, metro bus, ferry,
and motorcycle. Along the way, Harriet discovers that
although her family thinks it's time for her to be put out
to pasture---God has a different plan.
