Blossoms in the Dust

The stirring saga of a childless beauty...who was determined to be a mother!

Edna marries Sam Gladney, a Texan wheat mill operator, and they have a son who dies very young. By chance, Edna learns how the law treats children without parents and decides to act. She opens a home for foundlings and orphans and begins placing children in good homes, despite opposition from conservative citizens who condemn illegitimate children. Eventually she leads a fight in the Texas legislature to remove the stigma of illegitimacy from birth records, while continuing to advocate for homeless children.
