The Night Before Thanksgiving

"The Night Before Thanksgiving" by Sarah Orne Jewett follows Mrs. Robb, an elderly woman alone in her small gray house, facing a bleak Thanksgiving with dwindling firewood and food. Whispers of the poorhouse haunt her as she mourns the warmth her home once held. Her thoughts turn to Johnny Harris, an orphan boy she sheltered years ago after he injured his leg — a boy who promised he would return. When a knock sounds at her door on a snowy night, she must summon the courage to answer.
