Summary

Kashner and Schoenberger draw on candid interviews with Jackie Kennedy Onassis' sister, Lee, to share insights into the close relationship the two shared. One became the most iconic woman of her time, while the other lived in her shadow. In discussing their artistic interests and the rivalries that complicated their bond, we learn the complete story of the sisters' private and public lives, and that of the Bouvier family itself. -- adapted from jacket
