It's "Once a Grand Duchess: Xenia, sister of Nicholas II." and according to Amazon.com, that version has at least been out since 2004.Lady Jennifer said:I've never heard of "Once A Grand Duchess: Xenia, Sister of Nicholas I". Is this a newer book that has just come out or has it been out for a while. It sounds very interesting.

The second one is interesting because there's a chapter in which her cousin Dmitri asks her if she would involve herself in a plot that would overthrow her father and name her empress. Of course she refuses, but it's an interesting historical what-if.
