Summary: Spanning 80 tumultuous years, the incredible story of a peasant girl who became the Red Princess of the Russian Revolution.

And her aristocratic husband whom she adored, but could never love as completely as a woman should love her man. Now Anna finds she has one more battle ahead of her: her great-granddaughters Jennifer and Sonia wish to lock her away in an institution. Anna knows this will kill her. She will have to fight back...
