Jackie After O by Tina Cassidy
Defined in the public eye by her two high-profile marriages, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis found herself facing a personal crossroads on the eve of 1975, a year of incredible growth and renaissance for her. This title takes a look at this time and at the life of Jacqueline as she shook the world's expectations and pursued her dreams in middle age.
"In addition to being compelling sketch of a widow seeking to rebuild her life, Cassidy's portrait of Jackie O also addresses grander, timely themes, such as the juggling of public and private lives, as well as the plight of women entering a still male-dominated workplace" -- Publishers Weekly "With style and grace befitting her subject, Tina Cassidy reveals the remarkable third act of an iconic American life. JACKIE AFTER O takes us beyond Camelot and Aristotle to the woman herself as she discovers her voice, her strength, and her purpose. A delightful read." -- Mitchell Zuckoff, New York Times bestselling author of Lost in Shangri-La "Sections set in the 1970s are juicy fun (names like Sinatra and Warhol abound), and Cassidy sprinkles her narrative with sharply observed social commentary... This story of midlife reinvention is invigorating and inspiring." -- Boston Globe
