""A chance encounter at a summer party on Martha's Vineyard blossomed into an improbable but enduring friendship. Carly Simon and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis made an unlikely pair - Carly was a free and artistic spirit still adjusting to her new life after a recent divorce, and Jackie was one of the most celebrated, meticulous, unknowable women in American history. Nevertheless, over the next decade their lives merged in inextricable and complex ways, and they forged a connection deeper than either could have ever foreseen. The time they spent together - over lingering lunches and in creative collaborations, during nights out on the town and movie dates - brought a welcome lightness and comfort to their days, but their conversations often veered into more profound territory as they helped each other navigate the shifting waters of life lived, publicly, in the wake of great love and loss. An intimate, vulnerable, and insightful portrait of the bond that developed between two iconic and starkly different American women, Carly Simon's Touched by the Sun is a chronicle, in loving detail, of the friendship she and Jackie shared. It is a meditation on the ways someone can unexpectedly enter our life and change its course, as well as a celebration of kinship in all its many forms."" - from the inner front jacket flap.
