About the Book

Book Synopsis



A fortysomething woman's ordinary life takes a royal detour in an engaging novel about embracing a family legacy and stepping up when it matters most by New York Times bestselling author Mariah Stewart.

Annaliese--Annie--Gilberti is a divorced South Philadelphia mother of two with a nine-to-five job when a shocking discovery turns another average day upside down: her late grandmother was the exiled ruler of a small European country, and Annie is next in line to wear the crown and restore the monarchy. The would-be grand duchess of the Grand Duchy of Saint Gilbert has vacation time coming, enough to take a quick trip to check it out.

It's easy to fall in love with Saint Gilbert's villagers; its mysteries (why does everyone look decades younger than they claim to be?); her family's ancestral home, Castle Blanc (so many hidden rooms and passages!); and maybe--just a little--with the dashing Maximilien Belleme, the captain of the castle guard. Never one to walk away from a challenge, Annie steps up, determined to be worthy of the crown that's been offered. As she, her sisters, and her children work to bring Saint Gilbert into the modern age, Annie discovers a legacy of courageous women and that no threat is too great to deny the grand duchess's right to the throne.

What a wonderful book this is! Kind of like a contemporary Cinderella story and very worthy of immersing yourself in for some hours of 'get away from it all' reading. Annaliese, a hard working single mom from South Philly, finds out she is the presumptive heir to the thrown of a little known Duchy in Europe. Deciding to go to Saint Gilbert, if only to see where her family originated, she falls in love with the country. Many decisions later, Annie decides to take the leap and become the Grand Duchess. There are so many parts to this book, each one building on the other. I loved this story. You MUST suspend belief and just go with the storyline to give yourself permission to believe that the tasks Annie and her family take on are doable. This is a contemporary fairytale after all! I loved the characters, the way the country is being brought back to international standing, and the romantic ending. The epilogue gave more understanding of what was going on in the lives of the main characters, but, I'm SO HOPING there will be another book based in Saint Gilbert. We have some peripheral characters that need to have their stories told! Although not written in the usual Mariah Stewart style, this book was engaging, entertaining, and fun. I mean, what woman hasn't thought about the ability to make change for many and do good things! Highly recommend.
