Böcker av Ileana Habsburg

Ileana, Princess of Romania and Archduchess of Austria-who in later life became Mother Alexandra, founder of the Orthodox Monastery of the Transfiguration in Pennsylvania-wrote this memoir shortly after relocating to the US in the 1950s. It tells the story of a life full of suffering, tragedy, and exile, but all is suffused with the author's deep faith, hope, love, and even joy. This reprint includes additional material collected by the nuns of her monastery that sets the memoir in the context of Mother Alexandra's later life.[Original text first published in 1951 by Rinehart & Company, Inc. Additional materials were added to this second edition in 2018 by the Orthodox Monastery of the Transfiguration.]
