An old-fashioned Thanksgiving [videorecording] / RHI presents a Muse Entertainment & Automatic Pictures production ; produced by Steve Solomos, Jesse Prupas ; written by Shelley Evans ; directed by Graeme Campbell.
Things are so bad for recently widowed farmer Mary Bassett and her three children that this Thanksgiving they may not even be able to afford a turkey for their dinner. Suddenly, Mary's wealthy and estranged mother Isabella comes for a visit. Although Isabella finds a kindred spirit in Mary's eldest daughter and budding writer Tilly, Mary resents her mother's attempts to help them out of their financial difficulties. It will take more than money to heal the emotional wounds that exist between mother and daughter.
