Drawing upon hundreds of interviews with family and friends, this book portrays its subject with sympathy, revealing Grace, Rainier, Caroline, Albert and Stephanie.Īll of our books are second hand, and while you may not get the exact copy shown in the picture, all of our books are in very good condition. Grace and Rainer may have been royalty but they were also husband and wife, and parents - and, as such, just as vulnerable to the conflicts that can contaminate any household. Trapped in a fairytale of her own making, Grace was forced to make sacrifices that cut deeply into the core of who she was as a woman, surrendering her desires and ambitions for her spouse and children. If she maried Rainier she would be more than just a movie star, she would be Her Serene Royal Highness Princess Grace. After a series of relationships with co-stars she was exhausted by the showbusiness lifestyle. Grace Kelly was swept away when the handsome Prince Rainer, a man she barely knew, asked for her hand in marriage.

Central to re-evaluating this trajectory are two aspects of Orthodoxy in Romania: (1) most believers live in the countryside and (2) women have remained central to the development and maintenance of religious practices in ways that cannot be accounted for through any institutional analysis of the Orthodox Church, because of its both implicit and explicit misogyny. Scholars have failed to see continuities and have embraced analytical frameworks that stress change, especially around the communist takeover period (1945-1949) and the fall of communism (1989-1990). It also makes visible important imbalances, gaps, and faulty assumptions about the importance of institutions in the daily religious practices and beliefs of most Orthodox populations in the historiography on Orthodoxy in Romania. Instead, it suggests that continuity better encapsulates the development of religiosity-religious beliefs and their embodiment in specific practices-among Orthodox Christians in Romania in the twentieth century.

"Lauren, the senator’s daughter, is from a family where wealth and success are givens, and when someone messes up, there’s enough money and privilege to hide behind." My work isn’t autobiographical, but I’m from a small town in Ohio, and her character really rang true for me," she said. "When I began the story, I was writing from the perspective of Megan, the character from small-town Kansas. Inspiration came from her fondness for “fish-out-of-water stories." She also enjoys writing from the perspective of young protagonists. "It takes years for them to come to grips with what happened that night," Treick DeBoard said.

And it shows the incredible variety of genders that exist-a trans-man who gives birth, a ciswoman who performs as a drag queen, an intersex, people who do not consider themselves male or female and that general society has no pronouns for. But society usually doesn’t allow.Īnd that is one of the beauties of this book: it shows how members of the trans community have made their way through life their problems, their solutions, the abuse they’ve endured, the joys and love they cherish. This book proves something I’ve believed for many years- that gender is not binary but a continuum, and that a person need not always occupy the same spot on that continuum, that they can, if society allows, dance up and down the scale. While the average person thinks of the trans community as made up of drag queens and people who surgically and hormonally transition from one set of genitals to the other, it’s not nearly as cut and dried as that.
