We lost so much when he was assassinated.

The first time I read the book was when it first came out. I tearedup often. Especially when they talked about the images the Russian premier Nikita Khrushchev and President Kennedy used when they communicated secretly with each other. It was precious and moving. It was equally as moving when I listened to it on Audible..

At times I was moved beyond words.

The strength of this woman illuminates the contours of what it means to really be human. The love between her and her husband as it unfolds in the life of this woman and man was an unexpected gift but quite understandable. A must book to be acquainted with.

Fantastic story.

It was both a very good listen and I loved how information about the Honeybee was woven seamlessly into the storyline without being intrusive but actually foundational to the story. Great performance as well by the narrator.

He kept the Church intact. Morally …

Revisado: 06-25-22

I gave an overall review of three because of my sadness over the moral failure that was exercised at the highest levels during that historical period. I share that view with the author of this book. The presentation and historical data was excellent. Was he a success? Yes and no. Depending on what you value … you will come down on one side more than the other. I will not judge his individual morality as I am incapable of that. That lies in the hands of the Divine not mine.

Don’t Miss One.

Simply a great and well grounded work addressing the state of our mutually shared world today. I would add heavy on the word mutually. Why? If you are traveling through life … whether you are a Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, or someone who is agnostic … this work is a wake-up call to open our eyes and really see the world. Like this book “really seeing” changes one. A very life affirming, a life enriching and a life-giving book.

Fun for a diversion from my typical reading.

Revisado: 10-25-21

While the subject matter of JFK Jr., his wife, and his chief of staff / assistant / receptionist / gifted and a quick learner young woman … who was totally different in terms of her background, upbringing and lifestyle from his… was interesting … because I do not and never have moved in that circle of society … the book and bio was diversionary. But that does not mean her life story was not interesting, nor her background not full of significance and meaning. I enjoyed the change of pace the book afforded. Which is why I bought it. Given my age I remember his salute as a little boy and I can remember feeling terribly sad at the news of his plane going down. And so I was glad I read it. I valued her openness to her good looking male friend and his lifestyle. I also appreciated her value and care for her parents whom I could understand quite easily.

David Sedaris when funny is really funny.

If you are a fan of David Sedaris you will enjoy this book. A bit uneven at times but still good. Not great but good.

It started out a little slow but hang in there.

The book is a winner. Full of insight and excellent theology. Well narrated. So glad I kept on just as I was about to switch to another book. Really worth the listen/read.

Wonderful and insightful.

Revisado: 10-02-21

I don’t even know what possessed me to purchase this book as it was an impulse acquisition because the topic and description interested me. It was well written, had a very definite point to get across. You kind of take a chance with the author also being the reader of the book. But she did a magnificent job with both tasks. This is a keeper and I plan to gift this to a couple of other people.

This book emotionally brings you face to face with evil. But also with the grace that is the potential of everyone.

Revisado: 01-27-20

The first few chapters are very hard as they walk you through the horrible tragedy that befell the nation and especially the people of Mother Emmanuel. But this book also highlights the potential and dignity that each human life has the opportunity to embody within its particular existence.
