When celebrants gather for their annual Friendsgiving--Thanksgiving with their chosen family--each has a unique story to tell as a child tries to piece together how it all began.

No one remembers how it started.

The Friendsgiving gathering is moving into high gear, and for one child in the group, it's a good time to ask some questions about the event's history. Great-Uncle Billy, while snapping some green beans for the meal, says he was the one who started the tradition, back when people had to speak in code to keep being gay a secret. Miss Mona thinks that she was the originator, after her car broke down one year and she had to make a change of plans. Grandma Jane and Nana Rose tell their version of the tale while the smell of cinnamon and apples fills the air. As more people (and dogs) arrive and the music is turned on, it grows clearer that the details may not matter; what counts is the love they all share. With warm, jubilant artwork and a welcoming text that introduces moments from LGBTQIA+ history, Family Found celebrates one family as they come together on a day of gratitude.
