Holding the Dream is the second book in Nora Robert's The Dream Trilogy. It tells the story of Kate Powell as she is faced with a devastating scandal that stands to ruin what she has worked for her entire life: partnership in her accounting firm.
Kate is career driven and has been goal oriented her entire life. Her best friends, Margo and Laura, are also her sisters, not by birth but by necessity, as Kate's parents were killed when she was eight. She was taken in and raised by Laura's parents, The Templetons, who just so happen to own and run a strand of hotels by the same name around the world. The Templetons have given Kate everything she could have ever wanted, and now she wants to make them proud by showing them that with hard work she can be successful on her own. When she is suddenly faced with losing her job, her world begins to fall apart and so does she. Laura and Margo can only do so much for Kate. It's not until Byron De Wit steps in that the story takes a different turn.
This story is so much more than a love story. It is a story about one woman's struggle to prove herself to herself. It is a story about the importance of family, the importance of believing in yourself, and the importance of enjoying life.
The first book in this trilogy is about Margo and the last is about Laura. I took this middle book with me when we traveled to my in laws for Christmas. I did not, however, bring the last book. Instead, I chose to bring a new book by Emilie Richards. Big mistake. When you have read two books in a trilogy, you should never be without the third. So, I ended up reading about 50 pages in the Emilie Richards books and then tabling it once I got home and could begin Finding the Dream. I am not too far into it at this point, but I can see it being just as good of a conclusion to a trilogy as the last Inn Boonsboro book. I hope Nora Roberts has a new trilogy in the works for 2013. If she does, I bet it will be fabulous!
Happy Reading!
