WHO: BEST-SELLING AUTHOR
CHRISTOPHER ANDERSEN.
WHAT: “SWEET CAROLINE:
Last child of Camelot.”
A book from the Best-selling Author of
"The Day John Died," "Jack and Jackie," "Diana's Boys"…

“SWEET CAROLINE: The Last Child of Camelot”:
She is heiress to a legacy of power, wealth, unfulfilled promise, and unspeakable tragedy. Her father was gunned down before a stunned world, forever changing the course of history. Her mother became the most celebrated American woman of the 20th Century - an icon of style, glamour, and personal courage. Her brother was the most promising Kennedy of his generation - a global heartthrob whose chiseled good looks, personal charisma, and underrated intelligence might well have taken him to high political office had he not been killed in a plane crash at age 38 within sight of his mother's estate on Martha's Vineyard.

Through it all, the sole surviving member of Camelot's First Family - Caroline Kennedy - has largely remained a mystery. Until now, in the manner of his three New York Times best-selling books on the Kennedys-JACK AND JACKIE, JACKIE AFTER JACK, and the No. 1 THE DAY JOHN DIED -- Christopher Andersen draws on hundreds of interviews with Kennedy family insiders, some speaking here for the first time, in his new book SWEET CAROLINE: Last Child of Camelot (Morrow; October 21, 2003; $25.95). The result is the first full, compelling portrait of the young wife and mother left to carry on in her legendary family's name.. SWEET CAROLINE contains 62 photographs, including some never before published

AMONG SWEET CAROLINE'S REVELATIONS:
* New details about how Caroline coped with the shattering losses of her father, mother, and brother - not to mention the other catastrophes that have plagued the Kennedy family over the last half century - and the demons that haunt her to this day.
* Why Caroline, who like Jackie feared John might be killed in a plane crash, did not try to stop her brother the night of his last fateful flight.
* The times Caroline narrowly escaped violent death at the hands of terrorists - and the threat from stalkers that persists to this day.
* An inside look at the Kennedy White House - as well as the events surrounding JFK's assassination and its searing aftermath, all from Caroline's unique point of view.
* A compelling account of the surreal years spent as the stepdaughter of the mercurial Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis.
*Caroline's unreported battles with a variety of personal problems, both physical and emotional - including the impact Jackie's own eating disorder had on her daughter.
* The lifelong bond she shared with Jackie and John, and Caroline's often frustrating attempts to carve out an identity for herself in the shadow of her famous mother.
* What Caroline really thought of the women in John's life - including her sister-in-law Carolyn Bessette - and what advice she gave him.
* The loves of Caroline's life - including the fiancé who broke her heart and the enigmatic man she ultimately married. Also, Caroline's ongoing struggle to balance motherhood and career.
* Caroline's hopes and fears for her two daughters and one son - Jack and Jackie Kennedy's only grandchildren - and how she handles raising them in the glare of the media.
