Women with goals,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hold the Dream (Paperback)
I most certainly enjoyed the book Hold the Dream. I read the book about a year ago and my only regret was that I was not able to get all the books in this set for I only read the one part. I like women who know what they want and set their goals to achieve it. Women are no longer just homemakers but can be expert bussinesswomen. Keep up the good work.Unfortunately, our currency is 2 to 1 US therefore some of the prices are steep.

A Continuing Saga,
By
This review is from: Hold the Dream (Paperback)
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.

Disappointed after reading "A Woman of Substance",
By aallyy@hotmail.com (Bangkok, Thailand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hold the Dream (Paperback)
The book dragged for the first half. The author continuously rewrote the first book. The story did not really start until the second half. I was always waiting for the same emotional traumas that Emma experienced but did not really find them in this book. If you read A woman of Substance you might be disappointed with this book.
