The 1,036 days of John F. Kennedy's administration culminated with perhaps the most consequential day in American history.Camelot's Secret Legacy explores the life of McKenna Casey Gordon, the biological daughter of JFK and Marilyn Monroe, through a Secret Service agent assigned to the presidential motorcade in Dealey Plaza on 11/22/1963. Dominick Welles protected Lancer (the Secret Service code name for the President Kennedy). Camelot, the term Jackie Kennedy used to describe their days in the White House for a Life magazine article published one week after her husband's assassination. What if Marilyn Monroe and John F. Kennedy had a secret daughter and she lived to tell the tale? Historical fiction can offer a visceral, fairy-tale-like resolution to a tragic reality.
