Synopsis

It's a joyous occasion for the Montgomery Family. This will be their first Thanksgiving since the new additions to the family. Namely, Jeremiah Montgomery's marriage to the former Thea Manchester almost a year ago on Christmas Day. Now they are one big, happy blended family with Jeremiah's three adult offspring: sons Logan, Lyle, and Lance, and daughter Carrie; and Thea's three adult daughters: Kim, Libby, and Danielle.

A month before Thanksgiving, Jeremiah receives a letter from his ex-wife, Edwina, who is presently serving time in a federal prison. Edwina tells him she is dying of cancer and wants his and their sons' and daughter's forgiveness regarding the hurt and pain she has caused them, so she can die peacefully. Is this another one of Edwina's ploys to disrupt his family's happiness? Knowing all the pain she caused him and their kids, will they find it in their hearts to forgive her?

Her letter also reveals a surprise he hadn't known about. A surprise that will rock his offspring's world. How will they handle the revelation when he shares it with them? Will what was to be a happy Thanksgiving become a not-so-happy one?
