By Beck, K. K2003., Viking Call No: Bio O61b Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Opal Whiteley became a sensation when her childhood diary was published in 1920. But who was Opal? Although she'd been raised in an Oregon logging town, the diary contained clues she might actually be a royal princess, and she is buried in London under the name of a French royal. Opal's many fans today cherish her childhood diary, but others dismiss it as a fraud. Mystery writer Kathrine Beck has written the most thoroughly researched and authoritative book on Opal, discovering never before revealed material from archives around the world, as she tells the story of a remarkable child and a remarkable woman -- a woman who mesmerized celebrities and aristocrats of her day on three continents and continues to enchant readers today.

Through her contemporary investigation, she stumbles onto a trail of long-hidden family secrets that connect her to Sarah. Julia finds herself compelled to retrace the girl's ordeal, from that terrible term in the Vel d'Hiv', to the camps, and beyond. As she probes into Sarah's past, she begins to question her own place in France, and to reevaluate her marriage and her life. Tatiana de Rosnay offers us a brilliantly subtle, compelling portrait of France under occupation and reveals the taboos and silence that surround this painful episode."--Publisher.
