Publisher's Synopsis
An intimate peek behind the carefully staged facade of America's only royal family, Kick Kennedy's Secret Diary is the whirlwind journey and romantic exploits of JFK's little sister and favorite person, Kathleen-better known as "Kick"-Kennedy.
Ambitious and daring, Kick earns a reputation as "la petite questionneuse" for asking too many questions, such as "Will God desert me if I marry a good Anglican?" Ever pushing the boundaries, very-Catholic Kick struggles to balance her faith and familial duty with the lure of a marriage proposal from the Anglican and kind William Cavendish, heir to the most powerful duchy in England.
After Kick and her Billy-o marry, she threatens to split her family at the seams. Further testing our courageous heroine, her husband of two weeks quickly disappears to the battlefield, and Kick is suddenly left to make a life for herself alone in London.
