Description
An up-close-and-personal look at the life of JFK Jr., as told through this "must read" memoir of a twenty-year friendship (The Boston Herald).
"The Men We Became is a heartfelt memoir that seeks to honor his friend and defend his friend's wife. It conveys the lasting love that can exist between boys who grow into men together." ?USA Today
From youth to adulthood, Rob Littell spent twenty years alongside John F. Kennedy, Jr. -- through laughter and sorrow, joy and heartbreak. Rob Littell was a freshman at Brown when he met JFK, Jr. Although Littell came from a privileged background, it was worlds apart from the glamorous life of the son of the late president and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
Littell recounts dinners at Jacqueline Onassis's apartment -- where she surprised him with his favorite of specially burned hamburger -- and weekends at her retreat in Martha's Vineyard, where she critiqued their touch football. Later, they shared apartments in New York. Later still, Littell was part of John's secret wedding to Carolyn Bessette on Cumberland Island, Georgia, and three years later a pallbearer at his funeral. This is an intimate, detailed, and affectionate memoir of an unusual young man by a close friend.
"An exciting dose of nostalgia... sweet, heartfelt." ?Publishers Weekly
