For most of us, the story of Thanksgiving evokes thoughts of Pilgrims and Native American enjoying a colonial feast. But the story and the celebration might be unknown to us but for the tireless efforts of a little-known woman. For 38 years, persistent patriot Sarah Hale tirelessly wielded her pen, writing public office holders in support of a national holiday for Thanksgiving. Finally, in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation making this day of Thanksgiving a national holiday. Written by a National Book Award finalist, Thank You, Sarah! pays tribute to a letter-writing heroine.
