An intimate portrait of the life of Jackie O… Few of us can claim to be the authors of our fate. Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy knows no other choice. With the eyes of the world watching, Jackie uses her effortless charm and keen intelligence to carve a place for herself among the men of history and weave a fairy tale for the American people, embodying a senator’s wife, a devoted mother, a First Lady—a queen in her own right. But all reigns must come to an end. Once JFK travels to Dallas and the clock ticks down those thousand days of magic in Camelot, Jackie is forced to pick up the ruined fragments of her life and forge herself into a new identity that is all her own, that of an American legend.

"Very very good. Full of history and love and beauty. It depicted JFK as kind of an asshole which was fine. Loved her relationship with Bobby throughout the book. I didn’t have high hopes for the assassination scene just from the way the rest of the book was written, but it was chilling and heartbreaking and everything I wanted. Really really beautiful. This book is about the trials of life and womanhood. Highly recommend."
