Non-Fiction Biography
The untold story of how one woman’s life was changed forever
in a matter of seconds by a horrific trauma. Barbara Leaming’s extraordinary and deeply sensitive
biography is the first book to document Jacqueline Kennedy
Onassis’ brutal, lonely and valiant thirty-one year struggle
with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that followed
JFK’s assassination. Here is the woman as she has never been seen before. In
heartrending detail, we witness a struggle that unfolded at
times before our own eyes, but which we failed to understand. Leaming’s biography also makes clear the pattern of Jackie’s
life as a whole. We see how a spirited young woman’s
rejection of a predictable life led her to John F. Kennedy
and the White House, how she sought to reconcile the
conflicts of her marriage and the role she was to play, and
how the trauma of her husband’s murder which left her soaked
in his blood and brains led her to seek a very different
kind of life from the one she’d previously sought. A life story that has been scrutinized countless times, seen
here for the first time as the serious and important story
that it is. A story for our times at a moment when we as a
nation need more than ever to understand the impact of trauma.
