Life is known for throwing challenges and struggles at us. Rather than running from these, Agnes and Kate face them with courage in L.M. Montgomery’s short story “Aunt Susanna’s Thanksgiving Dinner.” They overcome adversity and grow more grateful because of the blessings received along the way.

Thanksgiving is just a few days away, and Agnes, Kate, Laura, and Margaret sit in their front room, each occupied with her favorite pastime. Agnes writes her novel, Laura paints, Kate plays the violin, and Margaret studies Latin.
