Fairy Tale Interrupted: A Memoir of Life, Love, and Loss

Donâ€™t miss the New York Times bestselling, behind-the-scenes story of an unlikely friendship between Americaâ€™s favorite First Son, John F. Kennedy Jr. and his personal assistant, a blue-collar girl from the Bronx. Featured in the documentary I Am JFK Jr.!

From the moment RoseMarie Terenzio unleashed her Italian temper on the entitled nuisance commandeering her office in a downtown New York PR firm, an unlikely friendship bloomed between the blue-collar girl from the Bronx and John F. Kennedy Jr.

Many books have sought to capture John F. Kennedy Jr.â€™s life. None has been as intimate or as honest as Fairy Tale Interrupted. Recalling the adventure of working as his executive assistant for five years, RoseMarie portrays the man behind the iconâ€”patient, protective, surprisingly goofy, occasionally thoughtless and self-involved, yet capable of extraordinary generosity and kindness. She reveals how he dealt with dating, politics, and the paparazzi, and describes life behind the scenes at George magazine. Captured here are her memories of Carolyn Bessette, how she orchestrated the ultra-secretive planning of John and Carolynâ€™s wedding on Cumberland Islandâ€”and the heartbreak of their deaths on July 16, 1999, after which RoseMarieâ€™s whole world came crashing down around her. Only now does she feel she can tell her story in a book that stands as â€œa fitting personal tribute to a unique boss . . . deliriously fun and entertainingâ€ (Kirkus Reviews).
