Emma Harte Saga

One of the top-ten bestselling novels ever written. Barbara Taylor Bradford's The Emma Harte Saga begins with this record-shattering New York Times bestseller that traces Emma Harte's legacy through multiple generations of indomitable women. From the servants' quarters of a manor house on the brooding Yorkshire moors to the helm of a profitable international business, Emma Harte's life is a sweeping saga of unbreakable spirit and resolve. Rising from abject poverty to glittering wealth at the upper echelons of society, there is only one man the indomitable Emma cannot have-and only one she yearns for. The novel was also the subject of a popular 1984 miniseries starring Jenny Seagrove and Deborah Kerr.

The continuation of Barbara Taylor Bradfords bestselling sensation A Woman of Substance, Hold the Dream continues the saga of Emma Harte, a sweeping tale of heartbreak and triumph. As the founder and head of the business empire Harte Enterprises, Emma Harte is a woman of purpose. She has sacrificed everything to make sure her granddaughter, Paula McGill Farley, inherits her wealth and her corporation. But Paula has already inherited Emmas unbreakable will, and she has dreams of her own. In taking on her grandmother's mantle of power, Paula must face professional and personal challenges Emma could never have predicted--or protected her from. Beset by greed, jealousy, lies, and betrayal from those closest to her, Paula must ensure the security of her future--and shelter the true love she's held secret for years.

When Paula's unscrupulous cousin Jonathan returns, even more determined than ever to wrest away everything Paula has fought for, she must marshal all her strength and fortitude to defend her fortune and her family.
