    A celebration of an indomitable spirit, here is New York Times bestselling author Barbara Taylor Bradford's dazzling saga of a woman who dared to dream--and to triumph against all odds... In the brooding moors above a humble Yorkshire village stood Fairley Hall. There, Emma Harte, its oppressed but resourceful servant girl, acquired a shrewd determination. There, she honed her skills, discovered the meaning of treachery, learned to survive, to become a woman, and vowed to make her mark on the world. In the wake of tragedy she rose from poverty to magnificent wealth as the iron-willed force behind a thriving international enterprise. As one of the richest women in the world Emma Harte has almost everything she fought so hard to achieve--save for the dream of love, and for the passion of the one man she could never have. Through two marriages, two devastating wars, and generations of secrets, Emma's unparalleled success has come with a price. As greed, envy, and revenge consume those closest to her, the brilliant matriarch now finds herself poised to outwit her enemies, and to face the betrayals of the past with the same ingenious resolve that forged her empire.

    Mladučká Emma Hartová prežila veľkú lásku aj prvé životné sklamanie. Bieda, choroby a utrpenie v prostredí, v ktorom vyrastala, v nej vypestovali túžbu po nezávislosti a finančnom zabezpečení. Obdivuhodnou húževnatosťou, pracovitosťou a všestranným nadaním sa pomaly blíži k svojmu cieľu.Najprv má len malý obchodík, potom obchodný dom, veľký koncern a napokon niekoľkomiliónový majetok. Jej úspešná cesta za bohatstvom, uznaním a mocou sa však nezaobíde bez obetí. V osobnom živote nemá Emma spočiatku šťastie. Hoci ju muži zbožňujú, jej prvé dve manželstvá sa nevydaria a za muža, ktorý je zmyslom a naplnením jej života sa nikdy nevydá. V starobe sa sklame aj vo vlastných deťoch, ktoré ju chcú pripraviť o kontrolu nad rodinným majetkom. Eminou oporou sú však vnúčatá, v ktorých vidí pokračovateľov svojho celoživotného diela.
