Hold the Dream
Hold the Dream by Barbara Taylor BradfordMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Although I loved the Emma Harte series but actually Paula Harte was the woman I truly idolised. She was completely that epitome of a balanced woman who made a success of not only her career but also her marriage and her children. A great role model. And oh how I used to drool over Shane, her boyfriend turned husband! I saved a lot of quotes from this book too and wrote them in my diary religiously…..those were the days…lol…But I was aghast at the movie staring Lindsay Wagner and Anthony Hopkins as they changed the script completely and tried to give a Hollywood flavour to it!

A Woman of Substance
A Woman of Substance by Barbara Taylor BradfordMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book really inspired me in high school. Wanted to be a world class entrepreneur just like Emma Harte! Helped me to work very hard where my studies were concerned. Used to pick up all the inspiring quotes of the book and write them religiously in my diary. Then look it up from time to time. I was quite serious about them you see..lol...I still have those quotes. My niece found this diary not so long ago and showed it to me. She was very curious about them. Emma Harte was this lean mean hard working example who motivated me to work harder for all my dreams and projects.

To Be the Best
To Be the Best by Barbara Taylor BradfordMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The title remains permanently etched in my mind like a reminder that is "To be the best." A very beautiful novel but feel sad for the tragedy that strikes Paula's brother Philip here.

Act of Will
Act of Will by Barbara Taylor BradfordMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Another inspiring novel! The protagonist Christina's first love affair was very sad and touching. Loved the fact that she had the strength to let go and move on and yet make a success of her marriage with the second love of her life!

Voice of the Heart
Voice of the Heart by Barbara Taylor BradfordMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a little sad. Imagine to wait for almost twenty five years to reunite with the love of your life for a relatively small misunderstanding...sigh! But the heroes in Barbara Taylor's books were really something...they were truely my idea of an ultimate dream man at that time!

Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia
Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia by Jean SassonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Loved to know all about a different culture altogether! Really feel for the protagonist here. A story well told about the life of woman brought up under a conservative and restrictive mould!
