My Life with Jacqueline Kennedy by Mary Gallagher ➤ McKay 1969
My Life with Jacqueline Kennedy by Mary Gallagher McKay 1969
Title: My Life with Jacqueline Kennedy
Author: Mary Gallagher
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: McKay 1969
LCCN: 77-97224
Size: 6 X 8.5 X 1.5 * 396 pages
Synopsis: From the Jacket: Few books in publishing history have created such excitement in advance of publication as has My Life with Jacqueline Kennedy. A small portion of the book appearing in serial form produced a wave of press speculation throughout the world and whetted the anticipation of readers everywhere for the whole story. And only by reading the complete book can the complexities of the former Jacqueline Kennedy's personality and life be understood.
Mary Gallagher was Jacqueline Kennedy's personal secretary from shortly after her marriage to Senator John F. Kennedy through the White House years and afterward. She worked closely with Mrs. Kennedy in the family quarters and watched her brilliant refurbishing of the White House; she was with her on that fateful day in Dallas and returned to Washington in the plane with her.
This book reveals Jacqueline Kennedy as a real person-as a wife, as a mother, as a seeker of perfection in art and life.
For the light it sheds on crucial years in American history and on Jacqueline Kennedy, this book is unique. My Life with Jacqueline Kennedy takes us back to Camelot and shows the real woman beneath the goddess-figure the world's idolatry made her. 16 pages of photographs
Mary Gallagher was born and grew up in Boston, the youngest of twelve children. She first worked for a local paper company and then through Kenny O'Donnell, a former salesman for the company, she was hired by newly-elected Senator John Kennedy to be a secretary in his office, and went to Washington in January 1953. She worked for Senator Kennedy for a number of years until her first child was born. Then she became a part-time secretary to Mrs. Hugh Auchincloss and finally became Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy's personal secretary early in 1957, a post she held until 1964. She married Raymond A. Gallagher in 1955. She and Mr. Gallagher and their two young sons now live in Alexandria, Virginia. Frances Spatz Leighton is the Washington editor of This Week magazine and contributes numerous articles to magazines and newspaper supplements here and abroad. She has also collaborated in the writing of numerous books, several of which have been bestsellers.
