Publisher's summary
A Mystery Book set in New York City during the late 19th century.
Sudden Poverty is a poignant and dramatic story set in late 19th-century New York City. Betty Farnham, once prosperous, faces severe hardships after her father's death and the resulting financial ruin. Struggling to support her ailing mother, Betty encounters further distress when a gold coin she receives for work is declared counterfeit, leading to her wrongful arrest. The narrative touches on themes of poverty, resilience, love, and societal norms.
As Betty's situation unfolds, she meets Royal O'Neill, a young lawyer who becomes deeply involved in resolving her troubles. Betty's encounter with a scheming pawnbroker, Solon Retz, reveals a network of deceit aimed at exploiting her. With O'Neill's help, the pawnbroker's fraudulent activities are exposed, leading to his arrest and Betty's exoneration.
The story's backdrop highlights the transition from luxury to destitution faced by many during periods of financial instability. Betty's journey from despair to hope is marked by her mother's wisdom and Royal O'Neill's unwavering support. The narrative evolves with Betty discovering her true parentage through letters left by her mother, revealing she is the product of a shameful affair. This revelation profoundly impacts her sense of identity and future.
As the plot progresses, Betty and her mother navigate their newfound poverty with dignity and resilience. O'Neill, deeply moved by Betty's plight and beauty, offers her a stable job and later, a marriage proposal. However, Betty's journey is fraught with challenges, including a confrontation with Emil Correlli, who deceitfully claims her as his wife. This confrontation leads to a legal battle that O'Neill skillfully navigates, ultimately securing Betty's freedom and happiness.
In the final chapters, the story takes a reflective tone, exploring forgiveness and redemption. Betty's unexpected reunion with her true mother, Isabel Stewart, brings relief and joy, further solidifying her place in society. The narrative concludes with multiple resolutions—for Betty, who marries Royal O'Neill, for her mother who finds love again, and for Emil Correlli, whose eventual remorse signifies a redemptive arc.
