Why read it?
1 author picked White House by the Sea as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because it offers an intimate glimpse into the place that the Kennedys called home, where they felt most comfortable, and where they went to celebrate their triumphs and mourn their tragedies.
