On Valentine's Day, 1970, Sylvia Payne finds herself in a bitter battle-not of the heart, but of survival. At just 26, Sylvia has inherited the helm of Payne Construction, a multi-million-dollar company her father built from the ground up. With a degree from Stanford and years of experience beside her father, she's more than capable of leading the company into a new era. But not everyone sees it that way. Her fiercest opposition comes from an unlikely source-her own mother. Geraldine Rogers Payne, glamorous, calculating, and recently cut off from her alimony, is determined to seize control of Payne Construction, claiming her daughter is too young and inexperienced to lead. Fueled by greed and spite, Geraldine unleashes a wave of legal attacks, media smears, and emotional manipulation, stopping at nothing to take what she believes should be hers.
Caught between grief, betrayal, and the pressures of proving herself in a male-dominated industry, Sylvia must summon every ounce of her strength, intelligence, and resilience to defend her father's legacy-and her own future. The Glass Ceiling Chronicles: Payne Construction is a gripping tale of ambition, family warfare, and female empowerment in an era when women were still fighting to be seen as equals in the business world. At its heart is Sylvia Payne, a woman determined to shatter the glass ceiling-even if her fiercest battles come from those closest to home.
