The Thanksgiving Door

When Ed and Ann’s turkey dinner burns, they think their Thanksgiving is ruined. But what appears to be a disaster becomes a blessing in disguise when Ed and Ann unknowingly intrude on an immigrant family’s own Thanksgiving celebration at their new restaurant, The New World Café. Once Grandmother silences her despairing family and invites the unexpected customers to join them, they all share an evening of friendship, good food, and lots of dancing—reminding everyone that Thanksgiving is about opening one’s heart in welcome to the strangers who become friends and the disappointments that bring unexpected joys.

Desperate lives collide on a cold November night as a yearlong Missouri tale culminates deep in the belly of a decade Ozark storm where one world ends and another begins. A young man's parents disappear, spilling him into the drug-running streets of Kansas City. He gathers a large sum for his troubles while struggling with addiction, a weak heart, and thoughts of going straight. An Ozark bootlegger finds instant profit making white crystal in an earthen compound near a ranch close to the Arkansas line. He chases his next payday with a long-wanted murderer watching his back. A wealthy Ozark rancher absorbs the reality of spending life without the guiding light of his one true love, when a woman from nowhere appears in his small town. A longtime ranch hand seeks full partnership, holding off a banker and harboring a satchel of found money. A sheriff in his last days of service struggles with courage, facing the specter of a man who nearly killed him six years ago. A quiet loner descends from the hilltops to settle a score, leaving an isolated society to pick up the pieces after tragedy turns on one of its own. . and then comes Thanksgiving.
