It contains many stories that no one has ever heard before, so you can get to know the true essence and beauty of the real Princess Grace of Monaco, including what her life, family and marriage were really like, and the truth of what happened during the 1962 crisis...

I love the actress, but was very disappointed they are not following historical record. I don't see the point to it, if it isn't accurate. So when I saw your book telling the real story, I wanted to know, so that I was properly informed... Thank you for telling the real story." - Winnipeg, Canada
