Product Information

They shared the secrets. They survived the tragedies. They paid the price!They were more than Washington wives. They were part of an American dream known as Camelot. With strength and cunning they upheld their public image by concealing their private truths. Jackie, Ethel and Joan had little choice. They were Kennedy women. What really unfolded behind the monolith of Kennedy power is revealed for the first time in Jackie, Ethel, Joan: The Kennedy Women, based on the bestselling book by J. Randy Taraborrelli. It's November 1960. The Kennedy family awaits the results of the presidential nomination for John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the eldest of three of the most charismatic brothers in America. What transpires will make them the most powerful brothers in America -- and their wives the most envied, admired and misunderstood. For Joan, the wife of senatorial hopeful Ted Kennedy, the nomination will thrust her into the spotlight, shedding her of innocence forever. For her tenacious sister-in-law, Ethel, it is as politically empowering as it is for her husband, the future Attorney General Bobby Kennedy. And for John's enigmatic wife, Jackie, her husband's success means only one thing: that she must endure a deeply troubled marriage for the sake of a politician's rise to power. Bargaining with patriarch Joseph Kennedy, Jackie agrees to continue the marriage of convenience -- with conditions: that she be allowed to live her own life free from the restrictions of the Kennedy name and that a million-dollar trust fund be set up for her children, Caroline and John, Jr. Jackie gets her wish. The bargain protects the political futures of her husband and his brothers. It also makes Jackie keenly aware of her own powers as America's favorite first lady. An expert in image, Jackie encourages Joan and Ethel to rescue their own failing marriages -- by overlooking the great flaws of their great men. She believes that they're a small price for a life of security, prestige, power and money. B
