The girl in white gloves [large print] : a novel of Grace Kelly / Kerri Maher.
Grace knows people see her life as a Cinderella story of a glamorous, elegant icon--the girl in white gloves. But she also knows the sacrifices it takes for a girl from Philadelphia to defy her family and become a film star--and the heartbreaking reasons for trading Hollywood for a crown. The loneliness of being a princess in a fairy tale kingdom is all too real--as is the harsh reality that being the most envied woman in the world does not mean she is the happiest. Starved for affection and purpose, facing a labyrinth of romantic and social expectations, Grace must find her own way to fulfillment. But what she risks--her art, her family, her marriage--she may never get back.
