White House by the Sea: A Century of the Kennedys at Hyannis Port by Kate Storey

Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, is synonymous with the Kennedy family. It is where, for a hundred years, America's most storied political family has come to celebrate, bond, play, and grieve. It is also the setting of so many events we remember: JFK giving his presidential acceptance speech, Jackie speaking with a Life magazine reporter just days after her husband's assassination, Senator Edward Kennedy seeking refuge after the Chappaquiddick crash, Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger tying the knot -- and even Connor Kennedy courting pop star Taylor Swift. Anyone who has lived in, worked at, or visited the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port has had a front-row view of history. Now, with extrqaordinary access to the Kennedy family -- and featuring dozens of rarely seen images -- journalist Kate Storey gives us a remarkably intimate and poignant look at the rhythms of an American dynasty.
Drawing from more than a hundred conversations with family members, friends, neighbors, and household and security staff, Storey delivers a rich and textured account of the Kennedys' lives in their summer refuge. From the 1920s, when Rose and Joseph P. Kennedy rented and then bought a home known as Malcolm Cottage, to today, when many Kennedys have purchased their own homes surrounding what's now called the Big House, this book delivers many surprising revelations across the decades, including what matriarch Rose considered to be the family's greatest tragedy, the rivalry between brothers Jack and Joe, details about Jackie's life at the compound, and previously unknown glimpses into JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette's loving and ill-fated relationship.
Fascinating, engaging, and illuminatine, White House by the Sea provides a sweeping history of an American dynasty that has left an indelible mark on our nation's politics and culture.
