The first oral biography of John F. Kennedy Jr. is an extraordinarily intimate, comprehensive look at the real man behind the myth. Sharing never-before-told stories and insights, his closest friends, confidantes, lovers, classmates, teachers and colleagues paint a vivid portrait of one of the most beloved figures of the 20th century, revealing how the boy who saluted became the man America came to know and love who still captures public imagination 25 years after his tragic death. JFK JR. dives deep into his complicated psyche and explores the what-ifs, illuminating both the cultural and political moment he inhabited and the way this son of a president, so full of promise and possibility, embodied America’s most cherished hopes.

Take one savvy, Bronx-raised young Italian woman from a blue-collar family and place her at the center of the high-profile life of the most famous young man in America, John F. Kennedy, Jr. The end result is FAIRY TALE INTERRUPTED, a behind-the-scenes look at the last five years of John's life by his publicist, confidante and close friend, RoseMarie Terenzio.
