Review
I cannot imagine the hours of research that went into this book. Talk about thorough! I knew some of it, but not all! There is so much behind the scenes that this author talks about. JFK and Jackie’s relationship was not what I assumed. Well, maybe parts of it. But there is so much the author brings to light. It just makes it more understandable for someone on the outside looking in. And don’t get me started on her reason to marry Onassis. I would do it too!
Jackie Kennedy was a truly amazing woman. I have met her daughter Caroline and she is as sweet and she appears. I would have loved to have met her mother. I admire her more after reading this book.
One thing brought out in this book that I really had no idea about was the doctor approved drug use. How I missed this, I will never know.
The narrator, Elizabeth Wiley, could not have been better. She is “Matter of fact”! And I loved it!
Need a fantastic written book about a national icon…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
