Anything for Thanksgiving

Bud, hearing knuckles rapping on the door, opens it to discover Ginny on the other side, dressed as a hobo, much as she'd appeared when both were seven. "Anything for Thanksgiving?" she asks, reminiscent of a tradition in their Brooklyn neighborhood. "My mother has ordered me to bring you to Thanksgiving dinner, and I am not to take 'no' for an answer."

Best friends through high school, some forty years had passed since last they met. Such distance in time fades, as Bud plays tour guide. Faces from the past, generosity of spirit, a shared interest in comedy, and means of making lemonade from lemons change more than their lives. As three more Thanksgivings pass, danger, intrigue, deception, and boundless blessings reveal a timeless truth.
