Requests:  0 Summary:  From Ancient Rome through 21st-century America, bestselling author Denise Kiernan brings us a biography of an idea: gratitude, as a compelling human instinct and a global concept, more than just a mere holiday. Spanning centuries, We Gather Together is anchored amid the strife of the Civil War, and driven by the fascinating story of Sarah Josepha Hale, a widowed mother with no formal schooling who became one of the 19th century's most influential tastemakers and who campaigned for decades to make real an annual day of thanks. Populated by an enthralling supporting cast of characters including Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Sojourner Truth, Walt Whitman, Norman Rockwell, and others, We Gather Together is ultimately a story of tenacity and dedication, an inspiring tale of how imperfect people in challenging times can create powerful legacies.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 394.2649 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 394.2649 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 394.2649 Kiernan Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 394.2649 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 394.2649 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList
