Rescuing the Czar

Focusing on the mystery surrounding Czar Nicholas and the fate of the royal family, the narrative delves into the longstanding debate over their disappearance—whether they escaped or were murdered. Utilizing insights from two diaries, Smythe aims to clarify misconceptions about the Romanoff execution. The work aspires to illuminate the dignity of Russian women amidst adversity, challenge historical narratives, and contribute to a broader understanding of virtue and motherhood in a tumultuous era, while promoting a sense of hope and romantic possibility.
