At eighty, Emma Harte prepares to transfer control of her international retail and investment empire to her granddaughter Paula. The inheritance is not simply financial: Paula is charged with preserving the standards, loyalties and determination that enabled Emma to build the business against formidable opposition.

Paula’s authority is challenged by relatives who resent her position and by pressures that cross the family’s global interests. As she attempts to hold Emma’s dream together, personal love and corporate duty become inseparable, forcing her to prove that succession requires judgement rather than merely the Harte name.
