Across an international landscape stretching from the horse-drawn carriages of pre-revolutionary Russia to the magical whirl of New York Madison Avenue, Judith Krantz has written a novel filled with secrets and discoveries, sadness and joy, glamour and pain. And the beating pulse of it all is Princess Daisy. The ultimate heroine. 

          She was born Princess Marguerite Alexandrovna Valensky. But everyone called her Daisy. She was a blonde beauty living in a world of aristocrats and countless wealthy. Her father was a prince, a Russian nobleman. Her mother was an American movie goddess. Men desired her. Women envied her. Daisy’s life was a fairy tale filled with parties and balls, priceless jewels, money and love. Then, suddenly, the fairy tale ended. And Princess Daisy had to start again, with nothing. Except the secret she guarded from the day she was born.
