A woman who once made it her goal in life to marry and rear a family finds her priorities suddenly shifting in Ryan Murphy and Jennifer Salt's adaptation of author Elizabeth Gilbert's best-selling memoir. In the eyes of many Liz Gilbert (Julia Roberts) was a woman who had it all -- a loving husband a great career and a weekend home -- but sometimes one realizes too little too late that they haven't gotten what they truly wanted from life. On the heels of a painful divorce the woman who had previously looked forward to a contented life of domestic bliss sets out to seek her true destiny by traveling first to Italy where she learns to appreciate nourishment; then to India where she discovers the power of prayer; and finally to Bali where she unexpectedly finds the meaning of true love.
