What is your first memory of Jackie? Ours is of a beautiful young woman always at the shoulder of her husband, the young and attractive John F. Kennedy. When he died the spotlight remained--but on his widow.
The world was amazed to find that Jackie was more than a paper doll. It should not have been. Born Jacqueline Bouvier, the young Jackie inherited a pedigree. She was a gifted linguist, took naturally to the arts and had an infallible instinct about men. No poor little rich girl, she!
Nor was she innocent of J.F.K.'s extramarital affairs, though her commitment to the family and appearance made her a loyal, if sometimes reluctant player on the Kennedy team.
The first book to present a comprehensive and coherent portrait of Jackie has been updated with more than 80 pages of new material, as well as new photographs. New chapters cover Jackie's life as a New York book editor, her blossoming relationship with diamond merchant Maurice Templesman, and the final, tragic weeks of her life. 16 pages of photos.

I loved this book, and read it so intensely. I don't believe there was a page that was boring. The great representations of the characters in the book, allowed great insight into Jakie's life. You must read!
