Bag om Riches Have Wings

Riches Have Wings: A Tale For The Rich And Poor is a novel written by Timothy Shay Arthur, published in 1847. The book tells the story of a wealthy businessman named Mr. Waring, who is known for his greed and selfishness. Despite his wealth, he is unhappy and unfulfilled, constantly seeking more money and power.One day, Mr. Waring's business partner dies, leaving behind a young daughter named Lucy. Mr. Waring sees an opportunity to gain control of the girl's inheritance and takes her in as his own daughter. However, as Lucy grows up, she becomes increasingly aware of Mr. Waring's true intentions and begins to rebel against his control.Meanwhile, a poor but honest young man named Frank also enters the picture. He is in love with Lucy and is determined to win her affections, despite Mr. Waring's objections.
