<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>The Love Story of JFK Jr. and Christina Haag - <i>New York Times</i> bestseller</b> <p/> When Christina Haag was growing up on Manhattan's Upper East Side, John F. Kennedy, Jr., was just one of the boys in her circle of prep school friends, a skinny kid who lived with his mother and sister on Fifth Avenue and who happened to have a Secret Service detail following him discreetly at all times. A decade later, after they had both graduated from Brown University, Christina and John were cast in an off-Broadway play together. It was then that John confessed his long-standing crush on her, and they embarked on a five-year love affair. Glamorous and often in the public eye, but also passionate and deeply intimate, their relationship was transformative for both of them. Exquisitely written, <i>Come to the Edge </i>is an elegy to first love, a lost New York, and a young man with an enormous capacity for tenderness, and an adventurous spirit, who led his life with surprising and abundant grace.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Lyrically and precisely recaptures the frenetic ecstasy of early love."--<i>The Washington Post</i><br> <b> </b><br> "[A] wistful story of love and ultimate loss . . . The life of a Kennedy is one of great privilege [and Christina] Haag's memoir allows us intimate access. . . . She doesn't bow to tabloid sensationalism; instead, she gently dusts off her tender, aching memories and bravely holds them to the light."--<i>Los Angeles Times</i> <p/> "Perfectly captures what it feels like to be young and in love--the giddiness, the lunacy, the madcap swings between exhilaration and despair . . . Haag is a beautiful writer."--<i>Entertainment Weekly</i> <p/> "The most honest, most thoroughly rendered, most memorable memoir of young love published in recent years . . . a remarkable work."<i>--New York Journal of Books</i><br> <i> </i><br> "[A] haunting memoir."<i>--Marie Claire</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Christina Haag </b>is an actress who lives in New York and Los Angeles.
