The Happy Journey To Trenton And Camden

Synopsis

A father, mother and two of their three surviving children drive from Newark, New Jersey to Camden to visit their married daughter, who has recently lost her baby in childbirth.

Their journey is punctuated by talk, laughter, memories (some mundane, some happy, some painful), and appreciation of the Now - ham and eggs, flowers, family, sunsets and the joy of being alive.

In this family drama, nothing much happens-and yet everything important happens.

As Ma Kirby says, "There's nothin' like bein' liked by your family."
