This group of wealthy, upper-class British sisters prove that nurture does not dominate our life choices. Two became extremely conservative—one befriended Hitler, for example, while the other married a Fascist during World War II.  Jessica became a communist.  Another, Nancy, became a famous author. Discover this fascinating family and learn what made them all—despite political differences--charming and confident.
