In my eyes she had always been old, always been mine, always been Granny Dan. But in another time, another place, there had been dancing, people, laughter, love.... She had had another life before she came to us, long before she came to me....
She was the cherished grandmother who sang songs in Russian, loved to roller-skate, and spoke little of her past. But when Granny Dan died, all that remained was a box wrapped in brown paper, tied with string. Inside, an old pair of satin toe shoes, a gold locket, and a stack of letters tied with ribbon. It was her legacy, her secret past, waiting to be discovered by the granddaughter who loved her but never really knew her. It was a story waiting to be told....
The year was 1902. A new century was dawning as a motherless young girl arrived at a ballet school in St. Petersburg, Russia, at the age of seven. By age 17 Danina Petroskova had become a great ballerina, a favorite of the czar and czarina, who welcomed her into the heart of the imperial family. But events both near and far away shook the ground upon which she danced. A war, an extraordinary man, and a devastating illness altered the course of her life. And when revolution shattered Russia, Danina Petroskova was forced to make a heartbreaking choice - as the world around her was about to change forever.
Granny Dan is about the magic of history. In it, Danielle Steel reminds us how little we know of those who came before us - and how, if we could only glimpse into their early lives and see who they once were, there is so much we would understand and learn. For in this extraordinary novel, a simple box filled with mementos from a grandmother offers the greatest legacy of all an unexpected gift of a life transformed, a long-forgotten history of youth and beauty, love and dreams.

Granny Dan (Audible Audio Edition) Danielle Steel Patrice Donnell Lewis Arlt Random House Audio Books Reviews
It was excellent!!! One of the best books I've read. Full of sadness and happiness. So true of our ancestors who came to America.
I love St.Petersburg, Russia and the history of granny Dan was set there. Great and probably true story.
I read this for book group. Figured that I should read at least ONE Danielle Steele, seeing as she is so popular. Well, it does prove that you can re-word the same sentences 20-30 times and there are people who will keep reading. "She worked hard. She worked VERY hard. How hard she worked!" "She had never really gotten to know Granny Dan. No, she hadn't. All those years, and she didn't know her. She thought she was just an old lady. My, how she wished she had known Granny Dan."
This woman takes up with a married doctor in the early 1900s and apparently neither can figure out that this causes babies. Oh, but "they were careful." In 1910? HOW? But not to worry, her life is saved with a blood transfusion. Must have gone forward in time to after WWII, when Karl Landsteiner perfected the technique. Ah, well, back to working very hard. Until it's time for another retrospect where the granddaughter explains again to the reader that she never really knew Granny Dan.
This is a four-martini beach read. As in, if you're completely blasted and still trying to follow a plot, Ms. Steele will make sure you didn't miss it.
I liked it . Great story and storyline a little hard to follow at first. But I have read all of her books.
Wonderful story line, a total surprise, the young girl growing into a young lady, the sacrifices she made to become the best. The secret's she took with her, the courage to leave everything behind and come to a new land, to start a new life. Great story.
It was an amazing story. People perceive you one way (especially family) and all the while there is a completely different side of you that only you know about. That was Granny Dan!
Good reading again the history of the Russian Imperial Family. Russian ballet has always amazed me. This book describes what great sacrifice people make although sad that the younger generation oft time forget about their grandparents.
Nice easy going book to read.. I enjoy all of her books. They are easy fat reading books that I download now on my iPad when I go some where . I would recommend this book for readers. They books will take about 7 to 8 hrs to read. Enjoy reading them. !!
