I am not a JFK worshiper and hardly even follow American politics (until recently when I moved to the US). But he clearly had a lasting impact on America. And it is the 50th anniversary of his death.
So I read a short eBook on Kennedy. Kennedy Baby - the Loss the Transformed JFK by Steven Levingston.
Of course the loss was speaking of Patrick Kennedy who lived only 2 days.
It was captivating in morbid sort of way. The loss of a child is tough for anyone but doubly so for a couple that was so solidly in the national spotlight. Jackie and JFK had a tough family.
It centered mostly on his family life - not his politics.
I learned that Jackie was a painter. I did not know that (I always like books where I learn something new).
There was a ton of research put into the book. It was well written. Good quick read.

Saw this book as a top-seller on Kindle. Definitely worth reading. When there's so much out about the assassination, it's good to learn about a different aspect of JFK's like. Fast read.
