From master storyteller J. Randy Taraborrelli comes the powerful and moving story of one of royalty's most secretive families. Grace Kelly was swept away when the handsome Prince Rainier, a man she barely knew, asked for her hand in marriage. After a series of relationships with married co-stars, she was exhausted by the show-business lifestyle. If she married Rainier, she would be more than just a movie star, she would be Her Serene Royal Highness Princess Grace. Once in the palace, however, Grace found herself trapped in a fairy tale of her own making. Forced to make sacrifices that cut deeply into the core of who she was as a woman, she would then surrender her desires and ambitions for her spouse and her children. Grace and Rainier 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 exclusive interviews with family and friends, ONCE UPON A TIME portrays its subjects with passion and sympathy, revealing Grace, Rainier, Caroline, Albert, and Stephanie in ways both startling and compelling.

Once Upon a Time: Behind the Fairy Tale of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier
by J. Randy Taraborrelli
I had been wanting to read about Grace for so long. I had no idea where to start.
This was probably not the right pic for me but not because the book isn't good. In fact it is very informative. The writing is excellent and everything flows.
There are also so many beautiful pictures to thumb through! I did find that highly enjoyable.
But ultimately what I was looking for was Historical Fiction. For example I read many books on Cleopatra and other rulers of Egypt. This book was more of a Non Fiction informative type of book. It was interesting but not really what I'd been looking for.
The telling instead of showing style was not for me is the best way I suppose to sum it up.
Historical Fiction is one of my favorite genres and the book "I Cleopatra" one of y all time favorite books so I really wanted a story. But I did indeed learning about her. And there was much to learn! Ultimately I think most people will enjoy this book., (
