Summary "Adrift in New York: Tom and Florence Braving the World" by Horatio Alger Jr. is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on Florence Linden and her uncle John, who is grieving over the abduction of his son, Harvey, and the complicated family dynamics with Florence and her cousin Curtis Waring. As Florence faces pressure to marry her cousin to secure her uncle's fortune, she chooses instead to leave her comfortable home and find her own way in the world. The opening portion of the book introduces a tumultuous family environment marked by loss and manipulation. John Linden's health is failing, and he is preoccupied with the memory of his stolen son, Harvey. Florence, who is compassionate and strong-willed, argues against marrying the unscrupulous Curtis, whom she distrusts. Meanwhile, Curtis is depicted as scheming and self-serving, eager to inherit his uncle's wealth and willing to discredit Florence to further his ambitions. The chapter sets the tone for a drama of familial strife, emphasizing themes of loyalty, love, and the struggle for independence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
