Product Details:
Determined to find a better life, Frances Lacey (Kathy Bates) hits the road from L.A. in 1962 with six quarrelling kids and a car thats ready to give up a lot sooner than she is. When the battered 48 Plymouth stops in front of a weathered wreck in an Idaho valley, her kids can scarcely believe this is the perfect place she promised them. Less a house than the ruins of someone elses abandoned dream, it seems an unusual choice of homestead to the Asian landowner, Mr. Moon (Soon-Teck Oh), but Frances persuades him to let the Lacey family trade elbow grease for shelter, and the improbable dream begins to take shape. The Lacey family becomes a growing part of Moons life, and with his help the shack soon acquires walls, electricity, windows and outdoor plumbing. But Frances finds theres far more to building a home than putting up drywall when the tough task of fitting into the rural community of Hankston begins.
