She has all that she had ever dreamed of and is among the wealthiest women in the world saved for that one man that she could never have. The journey is not easy for Emma, greed, revenge, and envy consumes those around her with the extremes of betrayal. She desires to outwit her enemies and become that person that she has lived to work for all her life. The book takes you through the life of a character who has set her mind to nothing else rather than achieving her dreams. Emma goes through dark times at some moments in her life, but this does not stop her from soldering on to her goals. Her commitment and determination make her achieve the goals that she has set out set by step.

The book woman of substance is one with a plotline showing the emotional turmoil of the main character Emma, through the path of success. It is a great motivation to not only women out there but also other people who are in a situation such as Emma’s.

She has got to ensure that her legacy stands strong just as her business empire has grown and spread all over the many years that she has worked to build the same.

The other thing that she has got to put in order is leaving an inheritance to share. Harte has grown old and has children and grandchildren who are supposed to take over her empire once she is long gone. It is her responsibility to give something substantial to her generation so that they will not find themselves in that situation that she was years ago as a servant girl. Moreover, she got to prepare them into handling the empire as without the skills to do the same it will go down. She relinquishes control of her entire empire to Paula McGill as she believes she has what it takes to run the Harte enterprises.
