Jackie by Dawn Tripp

Happy book birthday to JACKIE by Dawn Tripp
There will never be another couple like John F. and Jackie Kennedy. There will never be another time that was called Camelot and Jackie beloved like royalty. Full of grace, kindness and beauty she was also tough as nails putting aside Jack's infidelities and personal grief to take on the massive pressure dumped on her by the job and the Kennedy clan. Through Dawn Tripp's emotional writing we see through Jackie's eyes to understand how she saw herself and through Jack's eyes to see how others saw her. Even though I knew how the events would unfold I was intrigued by this behind the scenes story told in three parts that didn't tell us what happened but instead made us feel like we were there. I grew up idolizing the public view of the Kennedys and am now in awe and respect the very private side of this remarkable woman. Readers of Clint Hill's memoir ( their security detail), JACQUELINE IN PARIS for the early years and AND THEY CALLED IT CAMELOT will appreciate this new look. I can't stop staring at the perfect cover photo.
