About the Book

In AMERICAN LEGACY bestselling author C. David Heymann draws upon a voluminous archive of personal interviews to present a telling portrait of John and Caroline Kennedy. A long-time biographer of various members of the Kennedy clan, including Jackie and Robert Kennedy, Heymann covers John's and Caroline's childhood in the White House, the dark aftermath of their father's assassination, their uneasy adolescence, and the many challenges they faced as adults, all under the glaring eye of the media. He reveals John's and Caroline's loving but at times trying relationship with their larger-than-life mother, as well as Jackie's own emotional struggles, romantic relationships, and financial concerns following JFK's death. Utterly compelling and full of new and fascinating details, AMERICAN LEGACY overturns much of what we thought we knew about two of the most publicized members of the Kennedy family.

Review :
"Clear-eyed, often startling. . . . A wealth of intimate detail found in no other biography." --Publishers Weekly "Full of gossipy tidbits.... This book is shocking, yearningly romantic and tons of fun." -- People "Pulitzer-nominated biographer Heymann delivers a gawk-worthy beach read with this fascinating look at Jackie and the Kennedy clan in the aftermath of John F. Kennedy's assassination....Heymann's research is top notch, with plentiful attributions, making this train-wreck love story a substantial guilty pleasure and a sizzling reminder of how the rich are different." -- Publishers Weekly "Like Marilyn, JFK, and Lincoln, Elizabeth Taylor seems destined for literary eternity." --Liz Smith, New York Post The Toronto Sun An informative and entertaining book -- like the women it profiles. The Washington Post Think Entertainment Tonight does Georgetown. Liz Smith New York Post One juicy story after another. Mr. Heymann doesn't hold back. I couldn't put this book down....Don't miss it!
