The unforgettable journey of an American businessman{u2014}from his humble origins to his extraordinary successes{u2014}and the compromises he made along the way When Willis Wayde first lays eyes on the Harcourt mansion near Clyde, Massachusetts, he is fifteen years old. His father is an engineer at Harcourt Mill, and Willis is awestruck by the family{u2019}s wealth and power. Seeking guidance from Henry Harcourt, Willis meets Bess, the old man{u2019}s granddaughter. Their friendship eventually blossoms into love as the elder Harcourt takes the young man under his wing, recognizing in Willis a kindred spirit whose instinct for making money matches his own.
