Based on the novel by the author of the best-selling “Raney,” this hilarious and heart-warming story is set in a small North Carolina town where seventy-eight year old widow Mattie Rigsby plans her own funeral so as not to be a burden; supports the local Baptist church and entertains herself with hymns at the parlor piano.

She tries not to meddle in her children’s lives, though she does wish they would marry as she longs for grandchildren. Then along comes a teenage delinquent, Wesley, who was raised in an orphanage until he graduated to a house of detention. Much to the surprise of her children, neighbors and friends, Wesley becomes the grandson that Mattie doesn’t have.
