Summary

From the internationally bestselling author of A Woman of Substance comes the continuing story of indomitable heroine, Emma Harte

Emma Harte is now eighty years old and ready to hand over the reins of the vast business empire she has created.

To her favourite grandchild, Paula McGill Fairley, Emma bequeaths her mighty retailing empire with these heartfelt words: ‘I charge you to hold my dream.’

A towering international success, this is the powerfully moving tale of one woman’s determination to ‘hold the dream’ which was entrusted to her, and in so doing find the happiness and passion which is her legacy.

What a fabulous book

If like me you loved A Woman of Substance this is a must read. It continues the wonderful life of Emma and her family.
I cannot wait to go onto the next book.
The narrator is so talented she brings the book to life.
I would give this 10 stars if I could.
