Thank You, Sarah: The Woman Who Saved Thanksgiving

The "Lady Editor's Guide to Making Thanksgiving a National Holiday" is an inspiring, historical, and boisterous tale of perseverance and belief.

Sarah Josepha Hale, the extraordinary "lady editor," took it upon herself to rewrite the recipe for Thanksgiving as we know it today after America's observance was waning in the 1800s.

With an irreverent tone and caricatures that play up past Americans' laissez-faire attitude, this book charts Hale's relentless letters and 35 years of petitioning presidents to secure Thanksgiving's status as a national holiday.

The balance of humor and history in this snappy volume is typified by a hilarious spread of presidents passing the buck to Lincoln, who finally makes the day official in 1863.

This book is a tribute to Hale and her fellow campaigners, and it affords citizens the power to make the world a better place!
