The biography explores the life of Horatio Alger, Jr., an influential American writer known for his over 100 boys' books, which gained immense popularity. Born in Massachusetts and a Harvard alumnus, Alger briefly served as a Unitarian minister before scandal forced him to leave the clergy. He then relocated to New York City, where he established himself as a professional writer, achieving significant success with his fourth boys' book, "Ragged Dick." The narrative delves into themes of resilience and the pursuit of the American Dream through his characters.
