Thanksgiving Proclamation Comes Alive in Biddy’s Tale
A poor Irish girl, Biddy O'Toole, dreams of Thanksgiving as she buys a 25 cent chicken with saved pennies. She searches for her drunk mother, endures a harsh night, and collapses outside St. Luke's Hospital where a nurse and warmth rescue them. Her mother's repentance and a temperance pledge lead to a country cottage, roses, and a brighter future as the meaning of the President's Proclamation finally shines.
