GRANNY DAN

At the time of her death, Granny Dan was known simply as a fun-loving grandparent, beloved for her kindness and wisdom. But when her granddaughter stumbles upon her only legacy--a small box wrapped in brown paper--she finds the key to Granny Dan''s amazing past. Time thus folds to St. Petersberg, Russia, 1902, when Granny Dan, then known as Danina Petroskova, grew to become an accomplished ballerina and favorite of the czar and czarina. When revolution erupts in her beloved homeland, both the discovery of true love and the perils of war change her life forever.
