Mimi Beardsley Alford finally tells the true story of her affair with President John F Kennedy -- kept secret for 40 years
Mimi Beardsley Alford is a retired church administrator in New York and has two children and four grandchildren.
With the benefit of hindsight and good old-fashioned maturity, she
does not judge her young self, or indeed JFK, too harshly. She
writes not just about the secret, but about the corrosive effect of
keeping that secret . . . In short, she’s a wise old bird, and you
can’t help liking her, or her elegant and thoroughly good-natured
book.

Her memoir rings true: now approaching her 70th birthday, Mimi
Alford has no reason to dissemble, and her confessions of
complicity are sufficiently candid to allow her professions of
innocence to be taken at face value . . . Much of her vivid,
soul-searching memoir is about living with her secret.
*Daily Mail*
A likeable book by a likeable woman, who seems entirely
trustworthy.
