What Remains is a powerful and deeply moving memoir about a young woman from a working-class town who goes on to become an award-winning television producer and marries Prince Anthony Radziwill. Carole grew up in a modest suburb surrounded by a colorful and unconventional group of family members and neighbors. At nineteen, she left for New York City, determined to create a different life for herself.
Her work at ABC News took her around the world—from refugee camps in Cambodia to a bunker in Tel Aviv and even to the scene of the notorious Menendez murders. Through her marriage, she also entered the worlds of European nobility and American high society.
What Remains opens with loss and ultimately returns to it. A small plane crashes into the ocean carrying John F. Kennedy Jr., Anthony’s cousin, and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, Carole’s closest friend. Just three weeks later, Anthony dies after battling cancer. With honesty and the sharp perspective of a journalist, Carole Radziwill reflects on the strength of family bonds, the complexities of marriage, the value of friendship, and the ongoing process of reinventing oneself.
As Oprah Winfrey wrote, the book “captures what truly matters—friendship, compassion, and destiny.”
