<p>"Provocative... Recast in this light, Jackie's post-1963 actions make a new kind of sense... With a diagnosis of PTSD in mind, incidents once criticized as selfish or at least self-indulgent can be reassessed." --<i>USA Today</i> <p/>"An intimate and revealing look at one of the 20th century's most remarkable--and misunderstood--women." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"<i>Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis</i> provides suggestive evidence that her subject suffered from the clinical symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, including flashbacks, insomnia, numbness, avoidance, fear, depression, and anger. ... Her documentation -- which includes Jackie's remarks to intimates, as well as her behavior -- is compelling. Interpreting the post-assassination life through the lens of PTSD turns out to be a fruitful way of making sense of Jackie's sometimes odd-seeming choices." --<i>The Boston Globe</i> <p/>"Barbara Leaming offers a startling and fascinating look at Jackie's life. ... Sensitive and stylish, intimate and insightful.... At once harrowing and humane, <i>Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis </i>stands as a deeply moving narrative." --<i>Richmond Times-Dispatch</i> <p/>"Both refreshing and uniquely insightful." --<i>Maclean's</i> <p/>"Successfully provides a fresh perspective on the widow of assassinated U.S. president John F. Kennedy. Award-winning biographer Barbara Leaming's take on Kennedy Onassis is well-written and thoroughly researched. ... Leaming's new biography brings her back to life in an important new light." --<i>Winnipeg Free Press</i> <p/>"Barbara Leaming makes a strong argument, based on original research, that Jackie suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) at a time before the condition had been diagnosed." --<i>Bookpage</i></p>
