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.

Hold the Dream is the sequel to "A Woman of Substance". While it does document the subsequent 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.

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.

This book runs a poor second to a Woman of Substance. Bradford should have quit while she was ahead.

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.
