What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship, and LoveA memoir about a girl from a working class town who becomes an award-winning television producer and marries a prince, Anthony Radziwill, nephew of John F. Kennedy. Carole DiFalco Radziwill grew up in a suburb with a large, eccentric cast of characters. At the age of nineteen, she struck out for New York. Her career at ABC News led her to the refugee camps of Cambodia, a bunker in Tel Aviv, and the scene of the Menendez murders. Her marriage led her into the old world of European nobility and the newer world of American aristocracy. The book begins with loss and returns to loss: a plane plunges into the ocean, carrying Anthony's cousin John Kennedy and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, Carole's closest friend. Three weeks later, Anthony dies of cancer. Radziwill explores the complexities of marriage, the importance of friendship, and the challenges of self-invention with unflinching honesty.--From publisher description. |
