Benjamin Wyatt is a handsome young architect helping create the magnificent 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. While immersed in work at the famous architectural firm of Burnham and Root, Benjamin's pugnacious, social climbing father Walter Wyatt, pushes him to marry the stunningly beautiful debutante Evelyn Van Buren-thus securing the family's position in Chicago society. Yet, when Benjamin meets the cocky young electrical engineer Spencer Bowles, who is also working on the fair, his world and its ambitions are forever shattered. Set amidst the opulent splendor of Chicago in the late Victorian Age, Benjamin must confront the perils of accepting his own true love and risk destroying everything he worked so hard to achieve. Meticulously researched and filled with lush images of the Gilded Age, Exposition tells the epic story of a love that dare not speak its name.
