Maher draws the curtain on what royal life is really like, and how lonesome it can be to be an icon. Maher does an excellent job of showing how hard Grace had to work, while not always being successful. The story moves back and forth between Grace’s time trying to make it as an actress on Broadway and later trying to live up the expectations of a Monegasque princess. This in-depth exposé helps the reader to understand why a successful actress would give up her career and move to a small country overseas to become a wife and mother, albeit for a prince. Maher describes Kelly’s life before and after her marriage to Prince Rainier of Monaco. In her second venture into historical fiction, after documenting Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy and her debutante days in London, author Kerri Maher turns her attention to another American woman who moved to Europe: the iconic Grace Kelly.
