Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a compassionate biography of a remarkable figure, who lived a life of extraordinary devotion and faith in the face of unimaginable horrors. Grand Duchess Elizabeth, the sister of Tsarina Alexandra, wrote of her desire to find the "greater world" beyond the gilded palaces and glittering jewels of Imperial Russia, and found it in service to the poor and sick. She founded a religious order of women dedicated to helping those in need, and continued her charitable work even after her husband was brutally assassinated. Despite the extreme hardship and danger she endured during the Russian Revolution, including witnessing the murder of her entire family, she maintained her faith and compassion until her own death as a martyr. Through the life of this noble woman and the turbulent times in which she lived, the author explores the complexities of good and evil, strength and vulnerability, and ultimately the power of the human spirit to find hope and purpose in the darkest of circumstances. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
