Three generations of beautiful women. Audra, the impoverished children’s nanny from Leeds who sacrificed everything for her only daughter. Christina, the talented art student , a famous fashion designer, but also known pain and heartache. Kyle, the rebellious young woman who chafes against her mother’s success – and in whom her grandmother’s spirit of duty and sacrifice is reborn. 

          "Act of Will" is the sparkling, compulsive story of their remarkable lives, moving from the bleak Yorkshire Dales, through London, to the glamorous world of New York haute couture.
