A Pardon For Tommy

by Patricia Nmukoso Enyi

+ Want to read

Chelsea would rather not go home to New Orleans for Thanksgiving. The city still carries memories of Hurricane Katrina that she has tried hard to bury. What changes her mind is Tommy, her pet turkey, who rode out the storm's destruction in her backpack. To Chelsea, Tommy stands for hope and new beginnings, which are the best parts of the holiday. This story blends adventure with a lively cast of characters, and it centres on family, friends, and the comfort of a shared meal.
