Summary:
A detailed look at the complex relationships shared between the three
women
who were not born Kennedy but who married into the family:
Jackie
Bouvier,
Ethel
Skakel, and
Joan
Bennett. For each of the Kennedy wives, the
Camelot
years provided an entirely different experience of life lessons. These were the years when
Jackie
's dreams became reality, but at a hefty price. For
Ethel
, these were years of frustration where her dreams of being First Lady were dashed and she sank into a deep depression. For
Joan
, her years as a Kennedy wife were the most confusing of her life, and she is now a recovering alcoholic. This fascinating story is set against a panorama of explosive American history, as the
women
cope with Jack's and Bobby's alleged affairs with Marilyn Monroe and their tragic assassinations. The Kennedy wives did it all with grace, style, and dignity.
