Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis never wrote a memoir, but she told her life story and revealed herself in intimate ways through the nearly 100 books she brought into print during the last two decades of her life as an editor at Viking and at Doubleday. Based on archives and interviews with Jackie's authors, colleagues, and friends, Reading Jackie mines this most personally significant period of her life to reveal both the serious and the mischievous woman underneath the glamorous public image.
