Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"T. Tembarom" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young boy named Temple Barom, affectionately nicknamed Tembarom, who faces adversity and poverty after the death of his parents. As he navigates life in Brooklyn, he demonstrates resilience, resourcefulness, and an innate optimism that gradually leads him towards ambition and opportunity in the bustling city. The opening of the novel introduces Tembarom's humble beginnings as a ten-year-old boy who is suddenly thrown into the harsh realities of life after losing his mother. Left to fend for himself, he tries a variety of odd jobs, including selling newspapers and running errands for the neighborhood. Through his spirited nature and ability to make friends, he finds small support systems among his peers and the adults in his life. As he grows older, Tembarom's journey continues as he works his way up from a newsboy to a position in a newspaper office, driven by his desire to succeed and his plainspoken charm, which draws the affection of those around him, including a young woman named Little Ann Hutchinson, who becomes an important part of his life and aspirations.
