One Single Hour proves the possibility that the events of one single hour can affect the rest of one’s entire life.

Saving Mrs. Kennedy revisits the five most unforgettable seconds in American history, focusing on Secret Service Agent Clint Hill, the central yet faceless figure in the seemingly endless JFK saga. Defying the popular convention of hero as celebrity, Hill’s elusiveness over five decades has been both efficient and understandable. However the lure of his story is irresistible. Through the tireless investigations of the fictional researcher Jenna Tracy, Saving Mrs. Kennedy unveils the times, places and events that propelled Hill to become the Kennedys’ favoured agent and constructs a tantalizing portrait of a true American hero. With the foreword by John R. Tunheim, United States District Judge and former Chair of the Assassination Records Review Board.
