"What's the point of being Irish anyway if you don't think the world will break your heart" asks Jack Kennedy. He is spellbound by a song about Ireland's neverland of dreams: "How Are Things in Glocca Morra" No one better knew the real JFK's dreams and passions than Lem Billings, a prep-school roommate who made himself "sidekick everlasting."
Peter Collier was the founding editor of Encounter Books. His illustrious career as a writer and editor spanned more than half a century, beginning with Ramparts magazine in the 1960s. Among his books are The Kennedys: An American Drama, a #1 New York Times bestseller coauthored with David Horowitz, and dynastic biographies of the Roosevelts, Rockefellers, Fords, and Fondas. In 2003 he completed Medal of Honor: Portraits of Valor Beyond the Call of Duty, now in its third edition. His biography Political Woman: The Big Little Life of Jeane Kirkpatrick was published by Encounter Books in 2012. Things in Glocca Morra is his second novel and final book.
