An Evening with Caroline Kennedy
7:30 p.m., Chapman (Bldg. 3, 2nd Floor)
There is the Caroline Kennedy we know: public face of the American royal family, the gracious daughter of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the tireless advocate for courageous political leadership, and head of her father’s presidential library foundation. Yet in her books, Kennedy reveals a more private side, connecting across timeless themes of family, tradition and the ties that bind us together.
In A Family Christmas (Hyperion, $26.95), Kennedy shares the Christmas poetry, prose, scriptural readings, and lyrics that are most dear to her, drawing on authors as diverse as Harper Lee, Nikki Giovanni, Martin Luther King Jr., John and Yoko, and Charles Dickens. She shares personal family treasures as well—including a young Caroline’s Christmas list to Santa Claus and a letter from her father to a child concerned about Santa’s well-being.
It’s a unique collection, compiled by the editor, Columbiatrained lawyer and vice chair of the New York City Fund for Public Schools who, as a child, selected special poems as gifts for her parents and grandparents in Kennedy
family tradition.
Kennedy shares these beloved tales in a special evening, ideal for families, that will enrich your heart and mind with the spirit of Christmas.
