A "gossipy" account of the style icon and JFK friend who designed the White House Rose Garden and was a front-row witness to 20th Century American history (Wall Street Journal).
Bunny Mellon, who died in 2014 at age 103, was press-shy during her lifetime. With the co-operation of Bunny Mellon's family, author Meryl Gordon received access to thousands of pages of her letters, diaries and appointment calendars and has interviewed more than 175 people to capture the spirit of this talented American original.
"Jacqueline Kennedy looked up to her socially. President Kennedy counted on her good taste to design the Rose Garden. Rachel 'Bunny' Mellon lived in a world ardently protected by discreet guards, long driveways, and noble family retainers. Thanks to Meryl Gordon we get past them."-Chris Matthews, anchor, MSNBC's Hardball, and author of Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero
"As stylish and fascinating as its subject, this book is a biographical tour de force." -Linda Fairstein, New York Times-bestselling author
"Lovers of biographies will marvel at Gordon's portrayal of Bunny's long life, and the significant figures who buzzed in and out of it."-Booklist (Starred Review)
"A juicy behind-the-scenes tale of American aristocracy."-Publishers Weekly
