From the bestselling author of The Frozen River comes an enthralling historical mystery that unravels the extraordinary twists and turns in Anna Anderson’s fifty-year battle to be recognised as Anastasia Romanov. Is she the Russian grand duchess or the thief of another woman’s legacy? Countless others have rendered their verdict. Now it is your turn. Russia, 1918: Under direct orders from Vladimir Lenin, Bolshevik secret police herd Anastasia Romanov, along with the entire imperial family, into a damp basement in Siberia, where they face a merciless firing squad. None survive. At least that is what the executioners have always claimed. Germany, 1920: A young woman bearing an uncanny resemblance to Anastasia Romanov is pulled shivering and senseless from a canal. Refusing to explain her presence in the freezing water or even acknowledge her rescuers, Anna Anderson is taken to the hospital where an examination reveals that her body is riddled with countless horrific scars. When she finally does speak, this frightened, mysterious young woman claims to be the Russian grand duchess. As rumours begin to circulate that the youngest Romanov daughter survived the massacre, old enemies and new threats awaken. I Was Anastasia unravels the thrilling mystery around Anna Anderson in a tale that is every bit as moving and momentous as it is harrowing and twisted.

Award-winning author Carolyn Meyer's ANASTASIA is back in print with a gorgeous new package! Anastasia is the youngest daughter of Czar Nicholas II, ruler of Russia. Anastasia is used to a life of luxury; her major concerns are how to get out of her detested schoolwork to play in the snow, go ice-skating, or have picnics. She wears diamonds and rubies, and every morning her mother, the princess, tells her which matching outfit she and her three sisters shall wear that day. It's a fairy tale life -- until everything changes with the outbreak of war between Russia and Germany. As Russia enters WWI, hunger and poverty grows among the peasants, and soon they are not pleased with their ruler. While the czar is trying win a war and save their country, the country is turning on the royal family. When her father and the rest of the family are imprisoned by the Bolsheviks, suddenly Anastasia understands what this war is costing the people. In the pages of her diary, Anastasia chronicles the wealth and luxury of her royal days, as well as the fall from power, and her uncertain fate.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Alite was in prison in Brazil, and he was being targeted by the corrupt warden. He had to fight back, so he inserted a knife into his rectum. He had to survive, even if it meant going against the odds. #2 Alite was an American mobster arrested on an Interpol warrant after spending more than a year bouncing from country to country. He had made three stops in Cuba. He knew he should have stayed in Havana, but he had chosen Brazil. He lived in a neighborhood in the Copacabana section of Rio, had developed friendships, and had a girlfriend. #3 Alite was a wealthy American gangster, and he used his money and connections to make his way in the violent prison underworld. He eventually decided to become a witness for the U. S. Justice Department, testifying against Gotti Jr. and another former associate. #4 Alite knew that the Gottis were a soap opera long before Vicky got her own reality TV show. He knew that like Willie Boy and Ruggiero, he was expendable. He had to break the rules of the underworld if he cut a deal with the feds, but the Gottis had already broken those rules long before Alite ever thought about it.
