- Summary
- 'Joe Kennedy's favourite child and Jack's favourite sister, Kick's charm was legendary and with her jokes, effervescence and spirit she became a star amongst friends, family and the press. When she sailed to Britain in 1938 she was presented at court as a debutante, attended all the best parties and was a house guest at the finest country estates ... As the clouds of war gathered, Kick met a shy, tall, handsome man called Billy, and, against family wishes, married him, He was William Cavendish, heir to the Duke of Devonshire and the Chatsworth estate, and England's most eligible bachelor. But their days of married bliss proved short. Billy was killed in combat in 1944, leaving a heartbroken Kick widowed. Using recently released sources, best selling author Paula Byrne tells this story of a meeting between American and aristocratic British, politics, faith and country ..." -- Back cover.
