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.

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.

This enchanting book presents a rare collection of photographs - many previously unpublished - of the young Jacqueline Bouvier making some of her earliest appearances in New York Society.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.

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.
