520    "'It's one year after the death of her husband and twin 
       teenagers. Miriam Tedesco has lost faith in humanity and 
       herself. When a bouquet of flowers that her husband 
       usually sends her on their anniversary shows up at her 
       work place, she completely unravels. With the help of her 
       best friend, she realizes that it's time to move past 
       these deaths. Step one is not even cleaning out her 
       family's possessions, but just to take inventory starting 
       with her daughter's room. But when she opens up her 
       daughter's computer, she stumbles across a program written
       by her daughter to embark on an automated cross country 
       road trip, for her and her husband to take when they would
       have begun their empty-nesting in a few more months. 
       Seeing and hearing the video clips of her kids embedded in
       the program, Miriam is determined to take this trip for 
       her children. Armed with her husband's guitar, her 
       daughter's cello, and her son's unfinished piano sonata, 
       she embarks on a musical pilgrimage to grieve the family 
       she fears she never loved enough. Along the way she meets 
       a young, pregnant hitchhiker Dicey whose boisterous and 
       spunky attitude reminds Miriam of her own daughter and 
       forces her to look harder at what she had rather than what
       she's lost. Tornadoes, impromptu concerts, and an unlikely
       friendship ... whether she's prepared for it or not, 
       Miriam's world is coming back to life. But as she 
       struggles to keep her focus on the reason she initially 
       set out on this journey, she has to confront the 
       possibility that the best way to honor her family may be 
       to accept the truths she never wanted to face."--Provided
