Two extraordinary lives told in rare, mostly never-before-published photographsThey were America's children, symbolic of hope and youth, then of tragedy, and finally of the enduring power of the Kennedy legacy. In the 255 vibrant photographs in this book-most never before published--we watch John and Caroline grow up in the adoring, and sometimes harsh, glare of public attention. They were the youngest children to live in the White House in over a century-Caroline just three and John Jr. a newborn when their father too the oath of office. Symbolizing the youthful vigor of the new administration, they won the hearts of the American people as they romped around-and under-their father's desk in the Oval Office.And when, three years later, Caroline kissed JFK's coffin and John Jr. saluted the passing bier, they were forever etched into the nation's collective heart.We see their awkward adolescence, their sorrows at senseless losses in the family, their first forays into romance, their efforts to establish themselves as responsible adults, their happy marriages and Caroline's motherhood. And we watch in admiration as Caroline recovers from the untimely death of her beloved brother to assume the mantle of the Camelot legend. This is a book that will tug at the heartstrings of all who remember fondly these two remarkable American offspring.AUTHORBIO: JAMES SPADA is a writer and photographer who has written internationally bestselling biographies of Barbra Streisand, Bette Davis, Peter Lawford, and Princess Grace of Monaco.
