Description
One Room, One Hundred Thanksgivings is an illustrated historical fiction gift book that follows one Los Angeles dining room across 100 Thanksgivings, from 1926 to 2025.
In 1926, a blue bowl arrives in a newly occupied dining room. Over the next century, children grow up, families move in and out, chairs are repaired, traditions change, and the Los Angeles skyline beyond the windows transforms.
Across 204 pages, the book returns to the same room every Thanksgiving, pairing short stories with original visual reconstructions. Through four households, it traces a century of American family life through meals, conversations, familiar objects, and the quiet marks people leave behind in a home.
A recipe card, a damaged chair, pencil marks on a doorjamb, and other everyday details connect one generation to the next, preserving pieces of earlier lives inside later ones.
Created for readers who enjoy family stories, American history, Thanksgiving traditions, historical fiction, and illustrated gift books, this book makes a thoughtful gift for parents, grandparents, families, history lovers, and anyone drawn to stories about memory, home, and generational change.
One Room, One Hundred Thanksgivings is a work of historically researched fiction. Its characters and private events are fictional or composite, and its images are original visual reconstructions rather than archival photographs.
