BOOK BLURB: “JFK: Public, Private, Secret” by J. Randy Taraborrelli, released 2025.
In this definitive portrait of John Fitzgerald Kennedy – one of America’s most consequential and enigmatic presidents – J. Randy Taraborrelli delivers a deeply researched and authoritative biography. More than the story of a presidency, this is an intimate study of a man whose public triumphs were shaped – and at times overshadowed – by the complex realities of his private life, from his legendary family to his marriage to Jacqueline Kennedy.
The library is located at 301 E. 10th St., across from Mutz Ballpark. Library staff may be reached at ferrislibrary@ferristexas.gov or (972) 544-2110, Option 9.
