From beloved bestselling author Barbara Taylor Bradford comes the enthralling saga of three generations of extraordinary women--of the fate that befalls them, and the choices that define their lives…

IN THE NAME OF LOVE.
Orphaned after the death of her mother, well-bred Audra Kenton rose from selfless nurse to servant of an affluent suffragette, to a fiercely independent bride whose passionate marriage was overtaken by an unforeseeable tragedy. Now Audra has but one dream--to bestow upon her brilliantly artistic daughter, every opportunity that she was denied…

AT THE HEART OF AMBITION.
Given the world, the stubborn Christina has forsaken the wishes of her noble mother to forge the career of her choice--that of a glittering Manhattan fashion empire she hopes to bequeath to her own daughter. But in young and beautiful Kyle stirs a spirit that is inherently headstrong, equally independent, and just as ironically resistant to the sacrifices made in the name of love.

FOR THE SAKE OF A DREAM.
From the picturesque Yorkshire Dales to the haute couture luxuries of Paris and London to the bittersweet respite of home and family, three women face stunning betrayals and astonishing reversals of fate as each brings her own intimate struggle to their need of personal success and to a triumphant and heartening understanding of devotion, duty, and destiny.

It was an ok book..i found it did drag out alot but enjoyed it just the same..it kinda centers mainly on the "grandmother" and i was expecting, the way it started, that it would be more about the other 2 women..i still enjoyed it and it was relaxing to read

I constantly felt like I was reading a 5th grade writing project. This book explained everything to death. I only finished reading it because I already got halfway through the book and figured "I got this far..."

This is the exact writing style I've longed for. The grandma's character was amazingly written.
However, i found the resolution a bit quick.
All in all you'll find character depth, reality (most of the time) and in general a very pleasing experience!
