Jackie Was in the Lead

Lee went forward with the wedding despite her family’s misgivings; however, it only took a few months for her to not only understand why everyone was so concerned, but also to recognize that they were correct. Her marriage was not going to last. Just as this knowledge set in, her sister made her next move and outperformed Lee. Not even a year later, Jackie married the dashing (and stinking rich) John F. Kennedy. Not only had her sister married, but she had done it with someone far wealthier than Canfield. Lee was unhappy, but she had other concerns.

Her Small Family Was Already Filled With Misfortune

Lee had been the first to marry, and she wanted to be the first to have children. Her sister had already married someone more wealthy, so she couldn’t be the first to become pregnant. Lee and Michael were then residing in London, England. Despite enduring catastrophe after tragedy at home, they maintained their appearances like any good socialite would. The couple had attempted to start a family but had been unsuccessful. Lee knew how to deal with her disappointment, but Michael did not. Instead, he turned to alcohol misuse for assistance. However, all that accomplished was give him a headache and bad counsel from Jackie.
