After spending time with the Kennedys as they traveled from Hyannisport, Mass. to Middleburg, Va. to Newport, R.I., Hill realized that Jacqueline Kennedy tried to be other places besides the White House as much as she could. "It turned out that she no more wanted to attend ladies' luncheons and tea parties than I did," Hill wrote. "She really abhorred being in the spotlight, and having to make small talk. She would pick and choose which events were important to her, yet there were plenty of times she committed and then changed her mind."
