A Woman of Substance
1979
From New York Times bestselling
author Barbara Taylor Bradford comes a triumphant novel of an unforgettable
woman...
Determined to rise above all that
she has ever known, a young and impoverished Emma Harte embarks on a journey
first of survival, then of unimaginable achievement. Driven to succeed,
the iron-willed Emma parlays a small shop into the world's greatest department
store and an international business empire: Harte Enterprises.
Unhappily married twice, loving
only the one man she can never marry, personal happiness eludes her.
Harte Enterprises, the realization of her grand dreams, is her all:
her heart, her soul, her life. When those closest to her threaten
to destroy her empire through their greed and envy, Emma brilliantly outwits
her enemies. She wreaks her devastating revenge on those who would
betray her in a way only she knows how.
Drawing us into the mesmerizing
life of a remarkable woman who dared to seize a dream and was willing to
pay any price to make it come true, Barbara Taylor Bradford's deeply involving
novel is a celebration of an indomitable spirit.
