Search - What Remains : A Memoir of Fate, Friendship, and Love

I saw the author on Oprah and was so impressed with her eloquence that I read this book before it was out in paperback, something I rarely do. It was interesting to read the background of a story we all knew too well the outcome (JFK Jr.'s plane crash). It was moving and honest, not a "cash-in" celebrity memoir. It had to be therapeutic for the author to write it. I thought she did an excellent job sharing her point of view of the tragedy, an account of her husband's illness and the true character of her loyal friend Carolyn. A dignified glimpse of a husband, his cousin and wife, all of whom just happened to belong to a famous family.

An interesting read, not overly sentimental but giving insight into the lives of these 4 interesting people living in the headlines - a glimpse behind the headlines. Kept me reading and made me care about them in a way the newspapers never did.

The author is the widow of Anthony Radziwill, cousin and best friend of JFK jr. It's not just about their love story, but also her rise from working class roots to becoming a journalist and an award winning TV producer.

Gut wrenching, beautiful, profound, sweet~ a tale of friendship & love, & mostly, about grabbing what precious moments you have w/your loved ones. You just don't know when your last breath will be...or theirs.

i really enjoyed this book and highly recommend the book. i did not know a lot about Carole Radziwill or her friendship w John Jr. Very interesting and sad story.

I am surprised that I enjoyed this book as much as I did. The author has a wonderful ability to share herself with the reader in a way that brings you in without all that fluff and goo that sometimes happens with this type of book. I would reread this one over and over. When I finished I found that these people who live in a world so different than mine love, laugh and cry like everyone else. What this lady lost in such a short time would bury anyone and yet she was able to eventually share it all. Hopefully, the sharing allowed her to find peace and contentment.
