Dear Reader: Despite living a sheltered life in the most opulent palaces in the world, Anastasia Romanova, the youngest grand duchess of Russia, was a spunky, intelligent, normal teenager, with the same wishes and hopes and dreams we have all had. Yet just as she begins to come into her own, forces she doesn't fully understand start to close in on her powerful, wealthy family. Her mother is placed under house arrest, her father has to give up his title, and the guards who used to protect them become the family's jailers. Anastasia's journey is full of difficulty and danger, but also love—for her family, and as I imagine it, for Sasha, a young guard who gives her a glimpse of the outside world. Will his devotion to her save them all in the end? Read ANASTASIA'S SECRET and see. Susanne Dunlap www.susannedunlap.com
