Part I. His mother's son -- "Please don't do it" -- The son he had longed for -- "You can salute Daddy now" -- "A Kennedy never gives up" -- "I want to help him go back and find his father" -- A shoebox full of diamonds -- Part II. John on his own -- The crown prince -- Just one of the guys -- "He was my Dad" -- "I'm not my father" -- "The luckiest man alive".

At the heart of The Good Son is the most important relationship in JFK Jr.'s life: that with his mother, Jackie Kennedy Onassis. Andersen explores JFK Jr.'s reactions to his mother's post-Dallas depression; how Jackie felt about the women in her son's life; and the senseless plane crash that took his life. This riveting, bittersweet biography offers new insights into the intense, tender, often stormy relationship between this iconic mother and son.
