In this moving Hallmark Channel drama based on a short story by Louisa May Alcott, struggling widow Mary Bassett (Helene Joy) is trying to support three children, but money is so tight that they can't even afford a Thanksgiving turkey. An unexpected visit from her estranged -- and moneyed -- mother (Jacqueline Bisset) means Mary can prepare a proper holiday meal. However, it will take more than a feast to heal this family's emotional wounds.
