 “A riveting reimagining of a true tale of forbidden love.”—People

The captivating novel following the exploits of Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy, the forgotten and rebellious daughter of one of America's greatest political dynasties.

London, 1938. The effervescent "It girl" of London society since her father was named the ambassador, Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy moves in rarefied circles, rubbing satin-covered elbows with some of the twentieth century's most powerful figures. Eager to escape the watchful eye of her strict mother, Rose; the antics of her older brothers, Jack and Joe; and the erratic behavior of her sister Rosemary, Kick is ready to strike out on her own and is soon swept off her feet by Billy Hartington, the future Duke of Devonshire.

But their love is forbidden, as Kick's devout Catholic family and Billy's staunchly Protestant one would never approve their match. And when war breaks like a tidal wave across her world, Billy is ripped from her arms as the Kennedys are forced to return to the States. Kick finds work as a journalist and joins the Red Cross to get back to England, where she will have to decide where her true loyalties lie—with family or with love.... 20th Century Biographical Fiction Fiction Genre Fiction Historical Romance England Biography War

Loved this part fiction part fact insight into the iconic Kennedy clan. Little is known of Kick and her association with the British aristocracy was of real interest. Beautifully read despite a slightly interesting Australian accent for one of the characters!!! Thoroughly enjoyed this novel.

Winning combination...fact & fiction
