In the summer of 1995, Monica Lewinsky, twenty-one years old and fresh from college, was taken on as an unpaid summer intern by the Office of Legislative Affairs, a job which brought her into contact with the President of the United States, Bill Clinton. What happened next has been documented worldwide, as a young and vivacious girl's 'crush' on the world's ultimate authority figure led to the cruellest public humiliation for her and her family.
The real Monica Lewinsky emerges at last. Bestselling biographer Andrew Morton has exclusively interviewed Monica, her family and friends, unfolding the story of a generous-hearted but troubled American girl, whose apparently 'ideal' background propelled her into a series of self-destructive relationships with older men. Astonishingly candid, Monica's Story is surprising, not so much because its subject is an unusual, one-off character, but because what happened to her might have happened to any American girl who found herself in the right place at the wrong time.
