Publisher's Synopsis
On a clear summer night in July 1999, a small plane plunged into the Atlantic Ocean, carrying John Kennedy, his wife Carolyn and her sister Laura. Three weeks later, one week short of his fortieth birthday, John's cousin Anthony Radziwill died of cancer. In this extraordinarily moving and candid memoir, Carole Radziwill, Anthony's young widow and close friend of John and Carolyn, tells her story. It is the story of her life, born into a working class family in New York, how she met and fell in love with Anthony through their careers as television journalists, how she became part of America's most iconic family, how she nursed her husband through his desperate illness. How she was the one who had to call the Coast Guard to start the search for the missing plane, and break the tragic news to Carolyn's mother of the loss of her two daughters.
