The Rise of Silas Lapham

Silas Lapham, a self-made paint magnate from rural Vermont, has clawed his way to the top of Boston society through sheer grit and a knack for business. Now a millionaire, he's building a lavish Back Bay mansion, his daughters are navigating the city's elite social circles, and his firm is expanding. But as the Laphams ascend, the moral compromises and ruthless decisions that paved Silas's path to wealth begin to resurface, threatening to unravel his carefully constructed life and expose the fragility of his family's newfound status. The question isn't just whether they'll survive the fall, but what, if anything, will remain of their integrity.
