This is a delicious book meant to be devoured in one sitting including licking the plate clean and as you sit with your slightly distended belly, rest and relish the memory. A perfect blend of star-struck wonder, literary lust, witty banter and a touch of class only Jackie Kennedy Onassis can provide. Just like that, James the debut author's world was turned on end the day when he discovered that Mrs. Onassis was interested in his book and would become his editor. Part of the sheer joy of this novel is that you can identify so well with all the characters and the parallels between Jackie Kennedy Onassis and Jame's mother. Part of this young author's journey into publishing is that he must come up with the ending and his story is loosely based (he claims) on his own family, mom in particular and she is not happy about the book. James must come to terms with his past, his relationship with his two mom's (one natural and one editorial) and either confront or forgive. The writing is deliberate and calm and the journey is magical. It is a story of mothers and sons, those we truly love and what matters.
