Patrick Callahan is dead. When his widow, Myrtle, announces to the family that she’s going to sell the house and move into an assisted living facility, her grandson, Nathan, will have none of that, and offers to let her live with him. Myrtle reluctantly agrees, but informs Nathan that she can’t fly. Now grandson and grandmother embark on a drive across the country from Myrtle’s home in New Jersey to Nathan’s home in California. What ensues is a journey of discovery for both of them, a trip where Nathan learns that there is more to his grandmother than he ever imagined and that the best route isn’t always the most direct route. It’s a journey begun in a shared grief, a journey of bonding, laughter, tears, and a few adventures along the way. Take the journey yourself by picking up Going Home today.
