Meanwhile, wide-eyed Sissy Maddington has arrived from Ireland under the care of the Guinness family. She's eager to explore everything London seems to offer - while she tries to forget where she came from. As the three women navigate a changed city, they each discover a capacity for love they never could have expected.

But will they find the strength to stay true to themselves?Inspired by real events, A Kennedy Affair is a powerful story of friendship, forbidden passion - and how in the worst of times we can discover the best of each other.
