More To A Millionaire *Work in Progress*

"I'm trying to figure out how ten cents on a hundred can mean more to a millionaire than than it does to a newsboy. I can't see it..."

Jesse has never known a world without fear. He has no recollection of a mother's touch, nor a father's words of wisdom, nor a sibling's bubbly laughter. He has never been to school, never had a birthday party, never had a day of rest. He has never slept without hunger pains, never felt a soft bed beneath him, never owned a pair of shoes. All Jesse has are his fellow newsboys, a ragtag group of homeless and orphan children roaming the streets of New York in the late 1890's, desprite to make ends meet by spreading the word of the outside world through print, surviving on cents day. So when the kings of publishing raise the price of papers, throwing the peasants into further debt, Jesse must decide between joining his friends in the fight to be seen and change his destiny, or sticking to the safety of the shadows.
