Summary
On July 19th, 1969, Joan’s world changed again. This time, it was the final nail in the coffin she’d already been living in… “There’s been an accident.” Ted’s voice said from the other end— he sounded strained and quivery… like he was crying. “Oh no, Ted… What now?” What came next, What now?, was a bomb dropped straight into her bedroom—the truth that exploded all over her life. What came next… was the death of everything. “A girl drowned, Joansie. And there was nothing I could do. I swear it.”
All of the remaining Kennedy siblings descended upon Hyannis Port from wherever in the world they were that day.
