The book draws on documents from Russian and Danish archives. It features unique photographs from the life of the Russian Imperial House and the Danish Royal Family, many of which will be published for the first time.

Based on correspondence and documentary evidence, the relationship between Maria Feodorovna and Nicholas II is reconstructed, beginning in early childhood and continuing until the tragic events of July 1918. These include idyllic scenes of mother-son love and, at times, tense political discussions between the current head of state and the "representative of the previous reign."

The Empress's correspondence with her royal consort, Alexander III, and her eldest son paint a picture of colossal personalities for whom it was important to act not so much rationally and correctly, or as they should, but rather righteously and as they should. Maria Feodorovna's Orthodox faith gave her a profound understanding of Russian life and history. Yulia Kudrina's book offers an example of true moral achievement, something sorely lacking in our lives today.
