When you say "toward home plate", do you mean beyond 1st base, or between 1st base and home plate. If the former - she's not out, she's merely returning to 1st after legally over-running it (albeit meanderingly). If the latter, see Atl's response.
And I would not have abandonment here in FED ... not yet. Abandonment is not a GOTCHA call ... it's a fall-back to use when runners truly do leave.
