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.
