Meredith and her younger sister, Nina, could never understand why their Russian war bride mother was such an icequeen in both attitude and looks right down to her white hair. Their father was their source of love until he suddenly has a heart attack and dies. On his death bed, he makes his adult daughters promise to take care of their mother and to "listen" to her fairy tale of the prince and the common girl. This story is full of surprises. The characters are very likeable and well developed. Surprisingly, the book is also a historical fiction as well.
