Plot summary

Liz Gilbert (Roberts) had everything a modern woman is supposed to dream of having--a husband, a house, a successful career--yet like so many others, she felt lost, confused, and unsure of what she really wanted in life. Newly-divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a journey around the world that becomes a quest for self-discovery. In her travels, she discovers the true pleasure of nourishment by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in India; and, finally and unexpectedly, the inner peace and balance of true love in Bali.—Sony Pictures
