In 1964 Kathy McKeon was just 19 years old and newly arrived from Ireland when she was hired as the personal assistant to former first lady Jackie Kennedy. The next 13 years of her life were spent in Jackie's service, during which Kathy not only played a crucial role in raising young Caroline and John Jr. but also had a front-row seat to some of the 20th century's most significant events.

If you could sum up Jackie's Girl in three words, what would they be?
Engaging, Touching, Honest
Who was your favorite character and why?
Kathy- You got a strong sense of what her life was like. You wanted to see her be happy with her own family while being able to maintain her strong relationship with the Kennedy's.
What does Aedin Moloney bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She really brought authenticity to the story. I loved her accent I loved the way she tried to speak like Jackie. I think listening to the audio version with Aedin's narration make the whole experience more enjoyable.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
An honest view of life with the Kennedy family as seen through an eye of someone who was not just an employee but a member of the family...
Any additional comments?
Loved, loved, loved this book. I listen to lots of audible books, but this so far has been my absolute favorite!!
