The Countess Zanardi Landi (1882 - 1935), writes of her relations with her mother, Empress Elizabeth of Austria and the Court of Vienna."The Empress of Austria is constantly on a pedestal above the rest of the world, and her children are drilled to look upon her in that way. If she should wish to be present at their lessons, there is no such thing for her as going straight to the schoolroom. Her visit must be announced twenty-four hours in advance, teacher and pupils are dressed for the occasion, questions and answers are prepared, and at the end of the visit her Imperial Majesty graciously expresses her satisfaction to the teacher."The Empress may not even select the persons who are to be about her children, nor the subjects which they are taught. She may never have a simple, informal meal with them nor indulge in a ramble with them out of doors. At all times they must remember that they are in the presence of the almost sacred person of the Empress. The inevitable result is that they are really hardly her children at all; neither has the natural affection of a child for its mother any opportunity for development."

Joe Wilder is focused on turning a successful bodybuilding career into a billion-dollar international health and fitness conglomerate. He thinks he’s safely left behind his dangerous past as a CIA field agent—except for nightmares about gunfire, screams, and holding the lifeless body of a boy he cannot save. Facing massive price increases that could bankrupt his company, Joe travels to China for a confrontation with the ministry of trade. To his surprise, the deputy minister offers a deal in exchange for Joe helping her twelve-year-old son, Charley, travel to America. But when the minister is murdered within hours of signing the new contracts, Joe becomes both a suspect and the guardian of a boy with a secret. Relying on skills from his former life to stay alive, Joe has just four days to get Charley to safety before the most powerful criminal gang in China tracks them down. Hunted by every drug dealer, thug, and petty criminal who owes allegiance to the gang, can Joe and Charley survive long enough to see America? The Secret Empress is the gripping tale of an American entrepreneur’s dangerous quest to fulfill the last wish of a Chinese official before she is brutally murdered.

The Empress's Secret is a sixteen-point scientific program based on traditional Chinese medicine that calls on the body's own natural healing resources to completely rejuvenate the facial appearance. This method of light fingertip massage of certain points on the face and body results in an increase of circulation of blood and energy, or chi, to the face. This not only makes you feel better-more relaxed-it allows the lines of the face to soften while it tones the skin and supports the muscles of the face, so that you actually look younger and more vibrant. It is, in effect, an energetic facelift, right in your own fingertips.By following this ten-to-fifteen-minute regime daily for thirty days, you will most definitely see significant improvements, based on your age. At first these changes will be small and incremental. Within one month of starting this regime, with daily practice, you will notice considerable improvement in the tone of your face and the texture of the skin. The overall effect will be one of great rejuvenation. Over time, these youthening effects will continue, as this program derives its greatest benefits from its ongoing practice.
