Harriet Beamer, an maturing, recent widow, insists she's getting along fine with her dog, Humphrey, in Philadelphia... until she falls for the fourth time, injuring her ankle and triggering her boy and daughter-in-law to weep bad. Insisting Harriet move around in with them in California, they make a gamble that her ankle is damaged, and she foolishly pledges to move if they are right. Four x-rays later, Harriet's ankle - and her heart and soul - are damaged. She packages up, boats her huge sodium and pepper collection to California, and prepares to go away from the only life she understands. The only catch? She's doing it her way. Just hold out till her daughter-in-law hears Harriet will travel cross-country only by general public transportation and different means. What follows is a amusing, heartwarming quest by coach, metro bus, ferry, and motor bike. On the way, Harriet discovers that, although her family believes it's time for her to be placed out to pasture, God has another plan.
