The Perfect Time for a Thanksgiving Story
A free Milton Falls holiday story from the Quilt Fiction Story Guild audio archives!
In “Turkey in the Straw (Bess, 1925),” we find a younger version of our old friend Bess Wilcox laboring under the illusion that she can do everything without help – including prepare Thanksgiving dinner for her family and her nephews. But when Bess’s mother sends a note saying she and Bess’s father will be coming to dinner this year, Bess begins to worry she won’t be able to produce a dinner party that’s up to her mother’s exacting standards. As the guest list grows, so does Bess’s anxiety, which she tries to keep under wraps. After all, she’s a modern woman with modern machines – shouldn’t she be able to do it all? Her recently-hired housekeeper, Dorothy Johnson, has her doubts!
