Kick Kennedy by Barbara Leaming

Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy was the incandescent life-force of the Kennedy family. She was the Kennedy of Kennedys, sure of her privilege, magnetically charming and somehow not quite like anyone else on whatever stage she happened to grace. Kick swept into Britain's aristocracy, gloriously, exhilaratingly different in a world of sameness and similarity. Bestselling and award-winning biographer Barbara Leaming draws on her unique access to firsthand accounts, extensive conversations with many of the key players, and previously unseen sources to transport us to a world of immense wealth, arcane rituals and rules, glamour and tragedy that has now disappeared forever. This is the coming-of-age story of the female star of the Kennedy family, and ultimately a tragic, romantic story that will break your heart.
Barbara Leaming is the author of three New York Times bestsellers, most recently Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. Leaming's previous book, Churchill Defiant, received The Emery Reves Award from the International Churchill Centre, and she is also the author of the groundbreaking biography, Jack Kennedy: The Education of a Statesman. Her articles have appeared in the NY Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, the Times of London and other periodicals. She lives in Connecticut.
