I have “Jackie’s Girl” in my collection and I was very surprised. Most authors only care about sales by selling garbage but you can tell with Kathleen’s stories she’s still very protective of Jackie Kennedy and I can see why Jackie trusted her so much. Jacqueline was VERY Nice and generous and even left Provi (her Dominican nanny) funds from her will. Jackie is a class act and I’m glad Kathleen’s book was tasteful. I highly recommend this. I’ve read it several times and I love it!

Some may see this book as a betrayal, not because it was a sleazy tell-all about Jackie, which it clearly was not, but just because it was written at all. My thinking is that it may once have fallen into that category, especially if Jackie was still alive, but with the passing of time and the softening of things, and what with Jackie being gone now for 23 years, it's more a part of history. And anyway, I don't think this lovely, soft-spoken Irishwoman is capable of treachery. Let's all relax.

Nov, 1972 I was traveling from New York to San Juan, PR. I was in 1st class when Jackie O boarded an Eastern Airline plane, along with Doris Duke and another lady. I was shock seeing them. I remember they were very quiet. Later Jackie O went to the last row of seats and took a nap before landing. All three ladies were unassuming. Later I learned the yacht Christina was anchored at the bay, where they were to sail from. Being so close to these ladies who were part of history was amazing.

Thanks Katy McKeon. It's a good book. You need to tell your story as your part for historical records for us to get a glimpse of our mysterious and a private former First Lady. Her spirit and courage, poised and calm with dignity as she walked leading the funeral procession behind her husband's coffin with the shocked nation for what happened on Nov 22, 1963. The other horror was that, she herself was close to be hit by a bullet too missed by inches. She never spoke of that day in public. She was so private till the end. For that, she will be the greatest First Lady we ever had. For 1036 days.

She had her moments in private. She wasn’t anymore a saint than most woman who married to a philandering husband. She knew how to protect herself and when to be available to him. JFK was what he was just like his father was to his mother. But all Kennedy woman put up with behavior by ignoring it as much as possible. So the legacy she tried very hard to create, after his death, was accepted by the public for awhile. But when she left the country, many understood after Bobby Kennedy’s death, she was very concerned about her children. Kennedy’s were not Royalty, Joe Kennedy was a bootlegger during prohibition and liked to the then underworld. Many Massachusetts residents knew this and laughed about it in private. Jackie Kennedy was used to bring class to Jacks life. So let’s be truthful about this family....
