Kennedy Jr. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMany books have sought to capture John F. Kennedy Jr.'s life. None has been as intimate or as honest as \u003ci\u003eFairy Tale Interrupted\u003c\/i\u003e. Recalling the adventure of working as his executive assistant for five years, RoseMarie portrays the man behind the icon--patient, protective, surprisingly goofy, occasionally thoughtless and self-involved, yet capable of extraordinary generosity and kindness. She reveals how he dealt with dating, politics, and the paparazzi, and describes life behind the scenes at \u003ci\u003eGeorge \u003c\/i\u003emagazine. Captured here are her memories of Carolyn Bessette, how she orchestrated the ultra-secretive planning of John and Carolyn's wedding on Cumberland Island--and the heartbreak of their deaths on July 16, 1999, after which RoseMarie's whole world came crashing down around her. Only now does she feel she can tell her story in a book that stands as \"a fitting personal tribute to a unique boss...deliriously fun and entertaining\" (\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosemarie Terenzio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gallery Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.13w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439187685\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/16\/2012 pg. 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoseMarie Terenzio was born in the Bronx and served as personal assistant, publicist, and confidante to John F.
