I saw the author on Oprah and was so impressed with her eloquence that I read this book before it was out in paperback, something I rarely do. It was interesting to read the background of a story we all knew too well the outcome (JFK Jr.'s plane crash). It was moving and honest, not a "cash-in" celebrity memoir. It had to be therapeutic for the author to write it. I thought she did an excellent job sharing her point of view of the tragedy, an account of her husband's illness and the true character of her loyal friend Carolyn. A dignified glimpse of a husband, his cousin and wife, all of whom just happened to belong to a famous family.
