Touched by the sun
[My friendship with Jackie]
Carly Simon
2019

 A chance encounter at a summer party on Martha's Vineyard blossomed into an improbable but enduring friendship. Carly Simon and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis made an unlikely pair - Carly, a free and artistic spirit still reeling from her recent divorce, searching for meaning, new love, and an anchor; and Jackie, one of the most celebrated, meticulous, unknowable women in American history. Nonetheless, over the next decade their lives merged in inextricable and complex ways, and they forged a connection deeper than either could ever have foreseen. The time they spent together - lingering lunches and creative collaborations, nights out on the town and mundane movie dates - brought a welcome lightness and comfort to their days, but their conversations often veered into more profound territory as they helped each other navigate the shifting waters of life lived, publicly, in the wake of great love and great loss.

An intimate, vulnerable, and insightful portrait of the bond that grew between two iconic and starkly different American women, Carly Simon's Touched by the Sun is a chronicle, in loving detail, of the late friendship she and Jackie shared. It is a meditation on the ways someone can unexpectedly enter our lives and change its course, as well as a celebration of kinship in all its many forms.

What Jackie Taught Us
Tina Santi Flaherty
2004

When John and Caroline lived in the White House
Laurie Coulter
2000

This evocative book combines reminiscences, memorabilia, and rarely seen photographs to bring to life the story of the most famous children ever to live in the White House. From John's first steps to his poignant farewell salute, from Caroline greeting her new baby brother to clasping her widowed mother's hand on the steps of the Capitol, the storied Kennedy era is touchingly recreated for a new generation.

White House by the sea
[A Century of the Kennedys at Hyannis Port]
Katey Storey
2023

The intimate, multigenerational story of the Kennedy family as seen through their Hyannis Port compound on Cape Cod—the iconic place where they’ve celebrated, mourned, and bonded—based on more than a hundred in-depth interviews by a Rolling Stone editor and journalist Kate Storey.
Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, is synonymous with the Kennedy family. It is where, for a hundred years, America’s most storied political family has come to celebrate, bond, play, and grieve. It is also the setting of so many events we remember: JFK giving his presidential acceptance speech, Jackie speaking with a Life magazine reporter just days after her husband’s assassination, Senator Edward Kennedy seeking refuge after the Chappaquiddick crash, Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger tying the knot—and even Conor Kennedy courting pop star Taylor Swift. Anyone who has lived in, worked at, or visited the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port has had a front-row view to history. Now, with extraordinary access to the Kennedy family—and featuring more than fifty rarely-seen images—journalist Kate Storey gives us a remarkably intimate and poignant look at the rhythms of an American dynasty.
Drawing from a wealth of conversations with family members, friends, neighbors, household and security staff, Storey presents a rich and textured account of the Kennedys’ lives in their summer refuge. From the 1920s, when Rose and Joseph P. Kennedy rented then bought a home known as The Malcolm Cottage, to today, when many Kennedys have purchased their own homes surrounding what’s now called The Big House, this book delivers many surprising revelations across the decades, including what matriarch Rose considered the family’s greatest tragedy, the rivalrous relationship between brothers Jack and Joe, details about Jackie’s life at the compound, and previously unknown glimpses into JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette’s loving and ill-fated relationship.

Young Jackie
Bert Morgan
2002

This enchanting book presents a rare collection of photographs - many previously unpublished - of the young Jacqueline Bouvier making some of her earliest appearances in New York Society. Society photographer Bert Morgan, who started his career the year after Jacqueline was born, began taking photographs of her for the social columns of local newspapers when she was three years old and followed her from one social event to the next throughout her childhood and young adulthood.

Young Kennedys - The New Generation
Jay David Andrews
1998

If America has a royal family, it is the Kennedys. Their fabled heritage of riches, power and tragedy has forever bound them to our country's history - and its headlines. But the story of the third generation of Kennedys extends beyond headlines. How have the children of JFK and Jackie, Bobby and Ethel, Teddy and Joan, coped with their early tragedies and the relentless pressure of public - and family - expectations? How have the children of lesser-known Kennedy branches dealt with their famous last name - or with not being named Kennedy? With remarkable candour, Jay David Andrews chronicles the romances, careers, struggles and achievements of the newest members of this beloved American family - capturing their inescapable legend and undiminished mystique.
