T. Tembarom

“If you love to read inspiring stories about dedicated, hard-working types who pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, you'll get a kick out of Frances Hodgson Burnett's T. Tembarom. Our eponymous hero emerges from a wretched childhood to finally realize his dream of making it as a newspaper columnist. When circumstances take him to England, Tembarom finds love-and uncovers some family secrets that change his life in ways he never thought possible.”
