Summary

Change is hard for Mitzi Miller, a spunky, elderly widow who misses her house and the way things used to be. After her husband dies, she regretfully sells the fixer-upper she owned for half a century. Mitzi is still homesick nearly five years later.

On her 76th birthday, she grants her own wish to return "home" with a bizarre request for an old pencil sharpener she left behind. There, she embarks on a nostalgic journey led by her memories and the new owner's bouncy dog.

Can this visit bring Mitzi the closure she needs to help her move on?
