The summer I met Jack [large print] / by Michelle Gable.
In 1950, a young, beautiful Polish refugee arrives in Hyannisport, Massachusetts, to work as a maid for one of the wealthiest families in America. Alicia is dazzled by the large, charismatic family -- in particular the oldest son, Jack, a rising politician. The pair is soon engaged, but Jack's father forbids the marriage. The Summer I Met Jack is based on the real life of Alicia Corning Clark, who J. Edgar Hoover insisted was paid by the Kennedys to keep quiet about her romance with JFK and a baby they may have had together.
In the summer of 1950, a beautiful Polish refugee named Alicia Darr takes a job with the Kennedy family and meets their oldest son, a charismatic congressman named Jack. Their summer fling soon turns into a serious relationship, but the Kennedys have White House dreams and an immigrant wife would never work. After Joe Kennedy forbids their marriage, Alicia trades Hyannis Port for Hollywood, and then Hollywood for Rome. Over the years, she is romanced by celebrities and royalty, but Jack is never too far away. On the eve of his inauguration as President, Alicia and Jack rendezvous one last time, a reuniion that could alter the course of history.--back cover
