  Grace Kelly was swept away when the handsome Prince Rainer, a man she barely knew, asked for her hand in marriage. After a series of relationships with co-stars she was exhausted by the showbusiness lifestyle. If she maried Rainier she would be more than just a movie star, she would be Her Serene Royal Highness Princess Grace. 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. 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. Drawing upon hundreds of interviews with family and friends, this book portrays its subject with sympathy, revealing Grace, Rainier, Caroline, Albert and Stephanie.
