New York Times bestselling author imagines the affair
between JFK and Alicia Corning Clark - and the child they
may have had.
Based on a real story - in 1950, a
young, beautiful Polish refugee arrives in Hyannisport,
Massachusetts to work as a maid for one of the wealthiest
families in America. Alicia is at once dazzled by the large
and charismatic family, in particular the oldest son, a
rising politician named Jack.
Alicia and Jack are
soon engaged, but his domineering father forbids the
marriage. And so, Alicia trades Hyannisport for Hollywood,
and eventually Rome. She dates famous actors and athletes
and royalty, including Gary Cooper, Kirk Douglas, and
Katharine Hepburn, all the while staying close with Jack. A
decade after they meet, on the eve of Jack's inauguration
as the thirty-fifth President of the United States, the two
must confront what they mean to each other. The
Summer I Met Jack is based on the fascinating real life
of Alicia Corning Clark, a woman who J. Edgar Hoover
insisted was paid by the Kennedys to keep quiet, not only
about her romance with Jack Kennedy, but also a baby they
may have had together.
