Cast Upon the Breakers by Horatio Alger revolves around the struggles of a young boy in those days when most of the young people were literally compelled to make their lives through their hard work, without any family support or any other external help.
Rodney, the main hero of the story, must overcome adversity, dishonesty, villains and bad luck to succeed. With his inheritance frittered away by an inept manager, young Rodney is all alone, and he goes to New York City to join the corps of homeless children during the 19th century. He starts working as an errand boy, but the price for false accusations cost him too expensive-his job.
