Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Making His Way; Or, Frank Courtney's Struggle Upward" by Horatio Alger Jr. is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. The story centers around Frank Courtney, a young boy navigating the challenges of life and familial relationships after his mother's death. The plot explores themes of resilience, character development, and the struggle for independence against the backdrop of society's expectations. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Frank and his friend Herbert, who discuss their school life and the complexities of their families, including Frank's disdain for his stepbrother Mark and stepfather Mr. Manning. The narrative quickly takes a turn as Frank receives a telegram announcing his mother's illness, leading to a series of events that culminate in her death and the revelation of a will that disinherits Frank, leaving him at the mercy of his stepfather. The opening lays the groundwork for Frank's internal conflict and foreshadows the challenges he will face as he seeks to assert his independence and make his own way in the world.
