Russian princess Tatiana Volkonsky narrowly escaped death from marauding Bolsheviks after the Russian Revolution in 1917. Traumatized by the horrors of her flight, she was unable to share her painful memories before beginning a new life in San Luis Obispo, California. In 2005, twenty years after her death, documents were found that unlocked the mystery of Tatiana’s unspeakable past. In She Cried for Mother Russia: A Princess in San Luis Obispo the author pieces together her friend’s extraordinary journey and subsequent life as a refugee in a tribute to this remarkable Central Coast resident.
