A true story about six kids, one mom,ia hammer andia dream.

Life for a single mother with six kids, no job and no place to live might be enough to break almost anyone's spirit. But for a proud and resilient woman like Frances Lacey, it's both a challenge she embraces and a battle she refuses to lose. Starring Oscar®-winner Kathy Bates (Fried Green Tomatoes) and featuring Edward Furlong (Terminator 2) and "a supporting cast of fine young actors" (Entertainment Today), this "radiant [and] inspirational" (The Hollywood Reporter) film is a "touching, involving experience" (Los Angeles Times) that proves home really is where the heart is!

Independent, strong-willed Frances Lacey (Bates) is determined to turn hard times into prosperity. Fed up with her supervisor's harassment, her oldest son's (Furlong) increasing delinquency and all of Los Angeles, she packs her kids into a rundown Plymouth and heads east. To some, Frances may look like a woman bound for nowhere...but this is one tough lady who's definitely got a destination - the American dream!
