American Legacy
The Story of John and Caroline Kennedy

The first definitive history of the lives of Caroline Kennedy and John F. Kennedy Jr, including never-before-seen photographs and numerous revelations about their contrasting lives.

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.
