About
Carrie Watts is living the twilight of her life trapped in an apartment in 1940s Houston, Texas with a controlling daughter-in-law and a hen-pecked son. Her fondest wish – just once before she dies – is to revisit Bountiful, the small Texas town of her youth which she still refers to as "home."

Excuse me for getting personal, but what is a pretty girl like you doing traveling alone?
Thelma
My husband's just been sent overseas. I'm going to stay with my family.
Carrie Watts
Oh, I'm sorry to hear. Will you just say the 91st Psalm over and over to yourself? It will be a bower of strength and protection to him. "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of my Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress." Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, honey.
[Thelma breaks down crying]
