Synopsis

Six In All by Virginia Frances Townsend. In a late 19th-century American setting, the story follows the hard lives and steadfast loves of three siblings, Prudy and Cherry Hurst and Darley Hurst, whose barely affordable world is brightened by the figure of Joe Dayton, a courageous newsboy who befriends them. Across town, Ramsey Forsyth, son of a wealthy, troubled father, descends into temptation under the influence of a unscrupulous yachtsman and gambler, Marcus Ropes. A chain of crises—Ramsey’s flight to New York after a fatal misjudgment, a dramatic river rescue, and the slow healing of old wounds—binds the two families in fragile alliance. Darley’s integrity and Joe’s generosity, along with the women’s resilience, ultimately restore hope: Darley and Cressy Forsyth, Ramsey and Cherry Hurst, and Joe and Prudy Hurst weave a new, more durable circle of kinship. Six In All is a sentimental meditation on poverty, virtue, redemption, and the power of steadfast friendship and family love.
