"An intimate look at the complex and absorbing relationship between two extraordinary women." —Jay Mulvaney, author of Kennedy Weddings: A Family Album
Despite hundreds of books and thousands of articles on Jackie Kennedy, surprisingly little is known about her mother's role in her life and achievements. Often dismissed as a social climber who faded into the woodwork after she divorced Jackie's father—the dashing, disreputable "Black Jack" Bouvier—and married the rich Hugh D. Auchincloss, Janet not only played a pivotal part in Jackie's own wedding to John F. Kennedy, but often served as a stand-in for Jackie during the White House years, and helped her cope with John and Caroline after JFK's assassination.
The only book to explore this fascinating mother-daughter relationship, Janet & Jackie is filled with stories that shed new light on the personal life of an American icon.
"A rich and nuanced portrait." —Publishers Weekly
"Pottker divulges startling vignettes." —Washington Post
