Product Description

Three generations of beautiful women and their journey from rags to riches. Audra is an impoverished children's nanny from Leeds who sacrificed everything for her only daughter. Christina is a talented art student who won world renown as a fashion designer -- yet who has known pain and heartache. Kyle is a rebellious young woman who chafes against her mother's success -- and in whom her grandmother's spirit of duty and sacrifice is reborn. Moving from the bleak Yorkshire Dales, through London, to the glamorous world of haute couture, Act of Will sparkles as it entertains.
