Award-winning author Carolyn Meyer's ANASTASIA is back in print with a gorgeous new package! Anastasia is the youngest daughter of Czar Nicholas II, ruler of Russia. Anastasia is used to a life of luxury; her major concerns are how to get out of her detested schoolwork to play in the snow, go ice-skating, or have picnics. She wears diamonds and rubies, and every morning her mother, the princess, tells her which matching outfit she and her three sisters shall wear that day. It's a fairy tale life -- until everything changes with the outbreak of war between Russia and Germany. As Russia enters WWI, hunger and poverty grows among the peasants, and soon they are not pleased with their ruler. While the czar is trying win a war and save their country, the country is turning on the royal family. When her father and the rest of the family are imprisoned by the Bolsheviks, suddenly Anastasia understands what this war is costing the people. In the pages of her diary, Anastasia chronicles the wealth and luxury of her royal days, as well as the fall from power, and her uncertain fate.

It is one of the greatest riddles of all time: Did Anastasia, youngest daughter of the last Russian Czar, survive the massacre of the royal family in 1917? James Blair Lovell's painstaking research proves, beyond a doubt, that Anna Anderson--who claimed until her death in 1984 she was Anastasia--indeed was. "Reads like a detective novel".--Publishers Week.

Could Anastasia have survived? Over a century has passed since Tsar Nicholas II, family and retinue were said to have been executed by Cheka forces in the city of Yekaterinburg in the Russian Urals. Historians, theologians, revered mavens of "Romanovia,"all reiterate sacrosanct versions of the event, immortalized in writing, stage and film depictions. However, the Russian Orthodox Church still hedges, at the time of this writing, about giving a definitive declaration of whose bones they possess and how history should be written. Persistent rumors that Anastasia, perhaps with Alexei, had survived, seem to fit the standard of Occam's Razor. It is the easiest, even if the most rejected, most vilified, and most unfathomable answer. "Evgenia Smetisko" defies denial. Mr. Robert "Bob" Schmitt, an early founder of visual face recognition (VFR), announced after 2D/3D analyses, "Anastasia and she are obviously the same woman." The reader will be intrigued to learn about the author's journey to uncover "Smetisko's" identity, and enlightened to read her own memoirs included in this book. Her life prior to the Revolution, subsequent exile, deprivation, escape, hardships, the strength of her faith and commitment to life will embolden readers in our equally perilous times.
