Is it possible to carry the weight of a nation's expectations while forging your own path? Caroline Kennedy, the only surviving child of President John F. Kennedy, has done just that, navigating a life lived both in the glare of public scrutiny and the pursuit of personal fulfillment.
Born Caroline Bouvier Kennedy on November 27, 1957, at Weill Cornell Medical Center in Manhattan, New York City, her arrival was highly anticipated. Her parents, then-U.S. Senator John F. Kennedy and socialite Jacqueline Kennedy, already held a prominent place in the American consciousness. Her birth followed a miscarriage suffered by Jacqueline in August 1956, when she lost an older sister, who they had planned to name Arabella. From her earliest days, Caroline's life was intertwined with the Kennedy legacy, a lineage marked by both triumph and tragedy.
