Fairy Tale Interrupted

Immediately following John and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's tragic deaths, RoseMarie Terenzio-personal assistant and publicist to John F. Kennedy, Jr.-was bombarded with seven figure offers to tell her intimate story about the famous First Son, but she declined, believing it was too soon. Now, the woman who knew the heir to Camelot better than anyone else outside the Kennedy family is ready to tell the extraordinary story of the real man behind the unprecedented legend, who was also one of her dearest friends. RoseMarie was not immediately impressed with John Kennedy, Jr. In an awkward yet comedic scene like something out of Ugly Betty, she walked into her office to find that John had taken it over without warning. John eventually asked her to become his personal assistant and publicist-years later she would become one of his closest confidents, as well as Carolyn's. For five years, RoseMarie was with John through dating, politics, the paparazzi, his marriage to Carolyn, and was staying at his apartment at the time of his untimely death. In her memoir, readers will not only see the life of a woman following her dream, but will be granted an inside look at life as a Kennedy. This is a rare glimpse at the man who has been the subject of unparalleled attention, sensationalism, adoration, and speculation.
