The History of Robert Rightheart: A Story for Boys

The story of an honest, shoe-shiner boy who provides for his ailing father and two little brothers, and how God rewards his faithfulness; while making only enough income for daily needs, one small honest decision changes his life forever and results in blessing which follows him all his days.

He’s a hard-working young man who is willing to clean the filthy old boots of farmers, knowing that this is work which will not pay very well: but he does his best. Later, a small act of honesty, when he thinks no one is looking, brings him great success and a good reputation for the rest of his life.
