Intimate insights into the life and character of John F. Kennedy are presented in this book by the person who in many ways knew him best. For twelve years Evelyn Lincoln was President Kennedy's personal secretary. Her desk was just outside his office door; she shared the journeys, the campaigning, the years in the Senate, and his all-too-short Presidency. This book is a groups of recollections of the woman who served as personal secretary to John F. Kennedy from his first days as Congressman through his years as President.
