The summer I met Jack
Gable, Michelle
In 1950
a young
beautiful Polish refugee arrives in Hyannisport
Massachusetts to work as a maid for one of the wealthiest families in America. Alicia is at once dazzled by the large and charismatic family
in particular the oldest son
a rising politician named Jack. Alicia and Jack are soon engaged
but his domineering father forbids the marriage. And so
Alicia trades Hyannisport for Hollywood
and eventually Rome. She dates famous actors and athletes and royalty
including Gary Cooper
Kirk Douglas
and Katharine Hepburn
all the while staying close with Jack. A decade after they meet
on the eve of Jack's inauguration as the thirty-fifth President of the United States
the two must confront what they mean to each other.
