Ever since his mother left, life hasn't been easy for Heath Wellington, III. Between his father's (Junior's) bouts with alcoholism and literary rejection, and Heath's own wrongful suspension from school, there hasn't been all that much to be thankful for. But following the tragic death of estranged grandfather Senior, father and son alike stand to inherit a life-changing fortune...with one catch. Heath and Junior must spend the next three months managing Senior's bed and breakfast, located in the same Massachusetts home Junior has spent the last eight years trying to escape. As Heath adjusts to his new world, what he needs most is to understand that Junior, too, is dealing with loss, and to realize that, even in the most tragic of times, there's a lot in life to be thankful for. Thanksgiving at the Inn is a beautiful story of family and forgiveness, and a sure holiday classic.
"Told through the eyes of young Heath, this is a story of family values, of coming together, and of learning life lessons too easily forgotten in the bustle of the computer age. It has the warmth of a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, and the feel of a timeless classic."
John Klawitter, Former Longtime Disney Executive and Editor-in-chief, Hollywood Havoc Book
"St. Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuits, felt that ingratitude was the greatest of sins. The quirky characters who gather around the Thanksgiving table at the Sleeping Inn help each other learn the true meaning of gratitude. As they face their struggles, they teach each other and us to be grateful for life's many blessings. It s easy to give thanks for this timeless, heartwarming, and inspiring
