(from Lifetime's press release, January 2014) In The Trip to Bountiful, Carrie Watts begrudgingly lives with her busy, overprotective son, Ludie and her snooty daughter-in-law, Jessie Mae. No longer able to drive and forbidden to travel alone, she wishes for freedom from the confines of the house and begs her son to take her on a visit to her hometown of Bountiful. When he refuses, Mrs. Watts is undeterred and makes an escape to the local bus station, where she befriends Thelma, a young woman traveling home.
