Her name was Rosamond Pinchot: hailed as "The Loveliest Woman in
America," she was a niece of Pennsylvania governor Gifford Pinchot;
cousin to Edie Sedgwick; half sister of Mary Pinchot Meyer, JFK's
lover; friend to Eleanor Roosevelt and Elizabeth Arden. At nineteen
she was discovered aboard a cruise ship, at twenty-three she
married the playboy scion of a political Boston family, but by
thirty-three she was dead by her own hand.
Seventy years later, her granddaughter, a noted landscape
architect, received Rosamond's diaries and embarked on a search to
discover the real Rosamond Pinchot.
Unearthing what appeared to be a glamorous fairy-tale
existence, Bibi Gaston discovers the roots of the ties that bind
and break a family, and uncovers the legacy of two great American
dynasties torn apart by her grandmother's untimely death. This is a
tale of three lives and five generations, mothers and grandmothers,
longing, holding on and letting go, men, beauty, diets, and letting
beauty slip. This is the story of how we make the most of our
brief, beautiful lives.
