In the four years Clint Hill was the Secret Service agent assigned to guard the glamorous and intensely private Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, he went from being a reluctant guardian to a fiercely loyal watchdog and, in many ways, her closest friend. Looking back fifty years, Hill tells his story for the first time - a tender, enthralling, and tragic portrayal of how a Secret Service agent who started life in a North Dakota orphanage became the most trusted man in the life of the First Lady who captivated the nation and the world.
