Once Upon a Secret

In the summer of 1962, when she was 19 years old, White House intern Mimi Alford (then Mimi Beardsley) began an affair with President John F. Kennedy. It lasted 18 months, until his death, and for the next 40 years, she kept it secret with near-religious discipline until her identity was finally revealed by the media.

In Once Upon a Secret, she finally breaks her silence, revealing in her own words what really happened. How did a chaste teenage girl like her end up with the President on her fourth day at the White House? And what happened after? A powerful coming-of-age memoir by an intelligent, articulate woman, this book answers all these questions and illuminates the consequences of living with such an explosive secret for so long.
