Wolfe's riveting novel imagines what Meyer's diary--burned by the CIA after her death--might have revealed. Great fun for conspiracy theorists and romantics alike." -- People"Devilishly creative." -- Kitty Kelley author of Jackie Oh! and The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty"In this novel that is part love story, part thriller and 100% page turner, Paul Wolfe takes you inside the sexual playgrounds of Cold War Washington, where spooks, secrets and LSD lurk behind every corner..." -- Sally Koslow, author of Another Side of Paradise"Wolfe gives poignant and poetic voice to... a free spirit and early feminist..What could be easily have been salacious fluff capitalizing on JFK's sexual proclivities is, instead, a compassionate and intricate portrait of a woman's psyche. By placing Meyer at the nexus of one of the twentieth century's definitive eras, Wolfe's inspired study of a cryptic woman is credible and haunting." -- Booklist (starred review)"The author deftly simulates a complicated woman's diary, creating a document that feels entirely authentic..... the author includes interesting political and historical details in the entries, shedding light on a woman with a front seat to American history." -- Kirkus Reviews"This imagined diary of Mary Pinchot Meyer, socialite and lover of JFK, simmers with intrigue and sensuality, painting in vivid colors both the magnificence and dark underbelly of Camelot" -- Newsweek"Mary Pinchot Meyer, JFK's lover, kept a secret diary that vanished after she was murdered in Georgetown in 1964. In this intriguing novel, Paul Wolfe creatively conjures up the life story she might have written." -- Meryl Gordon, bestselling author of Bunny Mellon, The Life of American Style Legend and Mrs. Astor RegretsAbout the AuthorPaul Wolfe has been an architect, songwriter and multiple-award-winning writer in advertising.
