"I'll fight you till my final breath!"
Momma Ruth has Alzheimer's but she's not giving up. She doesn't think there's anything wrong with her. "God knows, not all those know-it-all doctors," she says. She dreams of escaping from Oak Hill - and one day she does. Her sons are terrified, thinking she might get killed; but their mother isn't one bit afraid, charging boldly into the unknown on one last adventure.
Ruth meets a compassionate bus driver, a helpful trucker, a protective airman, a large black woman heartbroken over a breakup with her babies' daddy, a thieving online whore, a kind-hearted Latino contractor and Ruthie Columbus, a lonely young lady In pigtails, round wire-rim glasses and an old-style flower-print dress who reminds her a lot of herself when she was younger.
She sees Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon and Mount Rushmore - or does she? She's got photos in her scrapbook to prove it, she says. Her destinations are debatable but one thing is for sure - Ruth's last adventure is her greatest adventure.
