Jacqueline Kennedy's world, along with the faith of the nation, were shaken from their foundations when John F. Kennedy was struck down by assassins' bullets while riding at Jackie's side in a motorcade parade through Dallas. In a moment rife with confusion and shock, the world witnessed the First Lady's composed grief in images that remain as poignant and mesmerizing as ever. But what no one saw, is what went on behind closed doors in Jackie's private, tightly-contained world. Suddenly alone, save for her family, confidante, and priest, the First Lady faced a remarkable series of challenges as a wife, a mother and a reluctant part of the political machine: consoling her young children, planning her husband's funeral, preparing for the next President, Lyndon B. Johnson, to rapidly move into the White House and most remarkably, fighting to maintain control over how history would forever define her husband's legacy.
