About this ebook
From New York Times bestselling author J. Randy Taraborrelli comes the long-hidden story of Jacqueline Kennedy's six-year journey from grieving widow to one of the twentieth century's most admired and misunderstood women.
Following the events chronicled in his New York Times bestseller JFK: Public, Private, Secret, Taraborrelli picks up Jackie's story just days after President Kennedy's funeral. The years that followed forced her to navigate grief, motherhood, unexpected love, and life beyond the Kennedy myth.
As Jackie struggles to rebuild her world, America undergoes its own transformation. The Johnson presidency, the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, and the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy reshape the nation, just as they reshape Jackie and her family. Drawing on decades of original reporting, Taraborrelli brings readers inside the private conversations, hidden relationships, and political decisions that influenced one remarkable woman during one of the most consequential periods in modern American history.
Jackie Alone reveals:
• Jackie's previously untold romances with a respected physician and a Secret Service agent following President Kennedy's assassination
• A revealing portrait of Jackie's complex relationship with President Lyndon B. Johnson and Lady Bird Johnson
• A new examination of Jackie's complicated bond with Robert F. Kennedy
• How Jackie’s mother, Janet Auchincloss, worked with the Warren Commission to investigate Lee Harvey Oswald, placing her at odds with Jackie during one of the family's darkest chapters
Richly researched and deeply revealing, Jackie Alone is the story of a woman determined to build a new life after unimaginable loss, and of a nation struggling to redefine itself.
