It's about a mother of 10 kids who supports her children during the 50s and 60s by entering contests to keep their family from the poorhouse. The main character, Julianne/Evelyn wins a contest that sends her to Texas where she is taken out to dinner at Ports o' Call. In the book her husband really wanted a big Texas steak and was bummed they ended up in a Polynesian restaurant. There is a quick scene in the movie where they are supposed to be eating there. Masks on the walls but no other tikis and there are no mugs to be seen.
