Behind the headlines, there was one fascinating woman. This is her story. Monica Lewinsky. You know her name, you know her face, and you think you know her story: the pretty young intern who began an illicit affair with the President of the United States-- a liaison that ignited an unprecedented political scandal and found Bill Clinton as the second U.S. president to ever be impeached. But there is much more to the Monica Lewinsky story than just that. Now, Andrew Morton, author of the #1New York Times bestseller,Diana: Her True Story, takes you beyond the headlines and the sound bites to discover the real Monica Lewinsky, a woman as interesting, intelligent, and misunderstood as they come. ReadMonica's Story and you'll discover: * How a difficult childhood shaped Monica's tumultuous adult romances * Her relationship with Bill Clinton: how she saw a side to him few know-- and why she sometimes still misses her "Handsome" * The betrayal by Linda Tripp-- and how Monica's trusting nature snared her in Tripp's treacherous web * The horror of Kenneth Starr's exhaustive and intrusive inquiry-- how it affected her and her family, and how it still haunts her * Where Monica will go from here: What are her career plans? Will she realize her dream of marrying and starting a family in the wake of the scandal? * And much, much more With sixteen pages of photos. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Yet, I know that we're all capable of these same, or similar, actions and our guilt is the same as theirs. We've just been afforded privacy in our ridiculous decisions and have been allowed to live, learn, mature, and move past them. Lewinsky was not allowed this. I'm appalled at how she was treated in this investigation and I feel much compassion toward her.
I sought this book out because I recalled hearing about these events as they occurred, but I was in college at the time and not entirely concerned of the outcome. I wanted to understand the personalities involved and how the events took place. It wasn't a trashy tell-all that I feared, thankfully. The other reviewers who stated that they put it down after the descriptions of Clinton & Lewinsky's liaisons have a skewed view of the book, because it did not linger in this portion of the story. The book moves along fairly quickly and, as a paralegal major, I found the legal proceedings interesting. Overall it was a good read, especially as the story progressed. (
