If you are curious about Russian history, this historical Christian fiction series is for you! We have all seven books of the series in our library. The books follow two families from the time of the czars and peasants to the rise of Lenin. In the first book of the series entitled, The Crown and The Crucible, the reader is introduced to a faithful peasant girl working in the palace in St. Petersburg. She meets a spoiled princess and exerts a transforming influence over her as revolution is brewing in their beloved Russia. Although the books are fiction, the authors weave in real life events. I highly recommend the series!
