Now the triumphant story—and unpredictable heritage—of Emma Harte continues…  A LEGACY TO SHARE As the strong-willed force behind a thriving international business empire, Emma Harte built a life rooted in a single-minded purpose, one of unyielding determination and terrible sacrifice to achieve the stunning pinnacle of success. But the most difficult decision of her hard-won life is yet to come…  AN INHERITANCE TO PROTECT There’s only one way for Emma to ensure the promise of Harte Enterprises—by relinquishing control of the mighty empire to her beloved granddaughter, Paula McGill Fairley, a woman with her own dreams, and her own resolve to make them come true. But for Paula, with an extraordinary opportunity comes the professional and personal challenges of a lifetime…  A DREAM TO HOLD Supported and encouraged by a lifelong friend, Paula strives to be all that her grandmother was. But victory comes with a price, and Paula is put to the ultimate test as devastating greed and jealousy, scandalous lies, and flesh and blood betrayals threaten the very foundation of her future and a grand and true love that has flourished in silence and secret…

A Sequel - Not As Powerful 25 November, 2004 Hold the Dream is the sequel to "A Woman of Substance". While it does document the next generation, the flaws are sort of obvious, and hold no real threat to the empire Emma Harte built.
Frankly, the threats Paula faces after taking control of the busines empire Emma built are pretty minor-leauge. The betrayal of two cousins, the worthlessness of her Fairly husband, and a few problems along the way are nothing compared to Emma's struggles.
Indeed, I was left wondering if Paula's eventual decision to marry her lover Shane would work at all. Would either be content with their own empire - or would each try to dominate the other.
I hope the novel was a bridge work to "to be the best",but I can't help but wonder at the wisdom of following AWOS any further. I don't think it was worth it.

A Poor 2nd.... 17 May, 2004 This book runs a poor second to a Woman of Substance. Bradford should have quit while she was ahead.

Couldn't Put It Down! 21 April, 2004 I loved this book, but I'm reading them backwards. I started with the last book in the series, this one is the second. However I loved it. Some people may get confused with all the different ties between the families, but the book is a classic among romance novels. Highly recommended for a good albeit long read.

A Continuing Saga 02 September, 2004 Hold the Dream is the continuing saga of Emma Harte and her vast empire. This book picks up where A Woman of Substance ended. The focus of this book is Emma and her grandchilden with Paula taking over as the head of the family. This is a family that still doesn't get along and has more than it's fair share of jealously, lies, and backstabbing mixed in with love, happiness, and grief. This is a well-written book that keeps the reader interested in this family and all of their successes and failures. A must read for any fan of A Woman of Substance.

Hold The Dream 16 September, 2008 I had read this series before and really enjoyed it! The book was in good condition, but I have not had time to read it again. I am in college classes again and have been busy reading other material. However, I will start reading for pleasure again at Christmas break.
