Spanning two continents and the Atlantic Ocean, unfolding over a six-year period starting in 1953, Love, Jack is the story of a transcendent but heartbreaking love between two people at the peak of their youth and beauty, a love that seemed impossible but could not be denied.

Here is an intimate portrait of John Kennedy never before seen: a gentle, kind, and caring man, intensely passionate and full of life - but a man who faces great difficulty adjusting to the demanding role history and his father have assigned him.

Driven by his love for Gunilla von Post, Jack risked the sort of exposure that might have ruined his career, and he was willing to endure debilitating pain to cross the ocean for her. For the sake of her passion, Gunilla risked the ostracism of her family and friends, ready to turn her back on the country she loved.

Here at last is the heartwarming account of a history-making romance, a "brief, shining moment" - before Camelot, before an assassin's bullets shattered the hopes of a nation - a moment in time that Gunilla von Post is now ready to share with the world.
