The Kennedy debutante
Maher, Kerri
Genre:
London
1938. The effervescent "It girl" of London society since her father was named the ambassador
Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy moves in rarified circles
rubbing satin-covered elbows with some of the 20th century's most powerful figures. Eager to escape the watchful eye of her strict mother
Rose
the antics of her older brothers
Jack and Joe
and the erratic behavior of her sister Rosemary
Kick is ready to strike out on her own and is soon swept off her feet by Billy Hartington
the future Duke of Devonshire. But their love is forbidden
as Kick's devout Catholic family and Billy's staunchly Protestant one would never approve their match. When war breaks like a tidal wave across her world
Billy is ripped from her arms as the Kennedys are forced to return to the States. Kick gets work as a journalist and joins the Red Cross to get back to England
where she will have to decide where her true loyalties lie--with family or with love . . .
