"Uncle Richard's New Year Dinner" is a short story by L.M. Montgomery about Prissy Baker, a young woman who secretly cooks a holiday meal for the uncle who hasn't spoken to her family in eight years. Armed with nothing but a warm stove and quiet courage, Prissy slips into his empty house hoping to leave before he returns. When Uncle Richard walks in early, the awkward confrontation becomes something neither of them expected — a chance to say what pride had kept buried for far too long.
