In a period of just a week, Jacqueline Kennedy, this fiercely private woman had to face unthinkable personal loss, hard political realities, a nation in the throes of a collective trauma and, amidst all of the uncertainty, Washington, D.C. machinery and public scrutiny, the responsibility of keeping alive all that her husband wanted to stand for in America. Though today, he is amongst the most beloved of U.S. Presidents, John F. Kennedy's legacy was hardly assured upon his death. He had spent just two years and nine months in office, and the fear among those closest to him was that all he aimed for would be forgotten because the potential had gone unfulfilled. In the midst of her own anguish, Jackie steeled herself with a single-minded mission: to tell her husband's story in a way that it would always be remembered, as brief but shining moment of American promise.
