In October 1960, then Senator John F. Kennedy visited Geneva and spoke on the Geneva Court House lawn. Now it's Jackie's turn! It is 1964, and former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy is besieged by sightseers around her house in Georgetown. As she deliberates what to do next, she shares the story of her life in the White House, including her struggle to retain her family’s privacy in the face of media onslaughts, her restoration work, and her attempts to showcase the arts. In a climactic revelation, she recounts her husband’s death and comes to heartfelt decision about how to begin a new life for herself and her children. History comes alive in the talented hands of historian Leslie Goddard who tells fascinating stories and creates vivid portraits of some of history's most memorable women. |
