While traditional fairytale princesses are often rescued by princes, in today’s modern world women don’t need rescuing; but they could use some direction when it comes to living like a princess—poised, graceful, and compassionate. A TOUCH OF GRACE: How to be a Princess, the Grace Kelly Way by Cindy De La Hoz (Running Press) offers guidance on living gracefully, inspired by Grace Kelly.
Even before she became Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly’s iconic status and personification of elegance was secured through her legendary roles in such classics as Dial M for Murder, To Catch a Thief, and Rear Window. She was a natural beauty who possessed talent, ambition, and a sophisticated style and calm composure that was evident in her chosen profession. She would take on the role of “Princess” with as much passion as she had her acting career, generously devoting her time to various charities and fundraisers and supporting the arts her entire life.
A TOUCH OF GRACE combines biographical commentary with rare and never-before-seen photos, anecdotes, Grace Kelly’s own words, and the voices of those who knew her best to highlight lessons to learn from a life well lived. From professionalism in the work place and fashion tips, to catching a prince, parenting, and giving back to the world, these lessons will inspire readers to cultivate their own noble flair and feel like a princess.
