Blossoms in the Dust

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

The death of her young son changes Edna Gladney (Greer Garson), and she cannot leave alone what she learns by chance about how Texas treats children with no parents. Mervyn LeRoy follows her from a wheat mill and her marriage to Sam (Walter Pidgeon) into the work of placing foundlings in homes, against neighbors who want those children judged for how they were born. Her house fills with orphans, the word on their birth records still waiting to be fought.
