His legendary charm also won the heart of socialite Delia Spencer and led to an infamous love affair.The night of the Great Fire, as seventeenyearold Delia watches the flames rise and consume what was the pioneer town of Chicago, she cant imagine how much her life, her city, and her whole world are about to change. Nor can she guess that the agent of that change will not simply be the fire, but more so the man she meets that night...Leading the way in rebuilding after the fire, Marshall Field reopens his wellknown dry goods store and transforms it into something the world has never seen before: a glamorous palace of a department store. He and his powerhouse coterieincluding Potter Palmer and George Pullmanusher in the age of robber barons, the American royalty of their generation.But behind the opulence, their private lives are riddled with scandal and heartbreak.
