Blossoms in the Dust

Edna Gladney, grief-stricken after losing her young son, takes a stand against unjust laws and establishes an orphanage to provide a safe haven for children whose parents are unknown.

Edna, a newlywed, finds a new purpose in life when she discovers the struggles of orphaned children in Texas. She opens a home for foundlings and orphans, defying societal norms by placing children in loving homes despite opposition from conservative citizens. Edna's crusade doesn't stop there, as she leads a campaign to reform Texas' laws, seeking to remove the stigma of illegitimacy from birth records and advocating for the welfare of homeless children.
