Summary
Without a guaranteed inheritance, Jackie’s future depends on marrying well. But none of the men in her social set excite her. She’s brilliant, cultured, and endlessly curious – and they just want an adoring housewife.
Enter John F. Kennedy, a war hero and man on the rise. He’s unconventional and ambitious – just the man Jackie’s been waiting for. There’s just one catch: he doesn’t want a wife.
This is the real story of the private lives of two very public people – America’s royal couple: JFK and Jackie.
