L. M. Montgomery 
The Genesis of the Doughnut Club 

In L.M. Montgomery’s “The Genesis of the Doughnut Club”, Aunt Patty is a spinster who has relocated out west to keep house for her ne’er do well brother John. When John dies, Aunt Patty decides to move back east but first, to give a proper Thanksgiving meal—complete with a big plate of doughnuts—to the boys of the town who have come to love her cooking. When one of the local boys brings his railroad baron uncle with him to Aunt Patty’s dinner, her plans begin to change in a big way.
