A Home of Our Own is a 1993 American drama film directed by Tony Bill, starring Kathy Bates and Edward Furlong.

The same day, her eldest son Shayne is brought home by the police for stealing change from payphones, but they don't press charges.

When their money runs out, Frances trades her wedding ring for car repairs, describing her late husband as a "vagabond Irish Catholic son-of-a-bitch".

Their meager resources get them as far as Hankston, Idaho, where Frances spots the unfinished frame of a wood house a few miles outside town, across the road from Moon's Nursery.

Finding that the proprietor of the nursery, Mr. Munimura, is the owner of the property; though virtually penniless, Frances proposes to buy it from him in exchange for work by her and her children, whom she collectively calls the "Lacey Tribe".

Screenwriter Patrick Sheane Duncan based the story on his own childhood experience of moving from Los Angeles after his father was killed in a barroom brawl.

Duncan's mother relocated all twelve of her children to Michigan where she found work as a fruit picker to sustain the family.

[4] Roger Ebert awarded the film 3 out of 4 stars and wrote, "This situation, set in the 1960s, could be the set-up for a sitcom, or a retread of an old Disney family yarn.
