Excerpt from Souls in Pawn: A Story of New York LifeThe question What is Truth has never been fully answered, neither has What is Fiction so I do not pretend to solve it by saying this book is either the one or the other. It is merely an attempt to paint the struggles of human souls toward God, to reveal the throbbing of real hearts through the medium of pen and ink, and to win sympathy from brother for brother.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
