Susan's first book, Into the Unknown, combines thrilling adventure with an historical medical mystery. Set against the panorama of 20th century world events, it captures the remarkable life and spirit of climbing and medical great, Hans Kraus (1905-1996), who was Kennedy's secret White House back doctor and at the heart of one of the most intriguing medical stories in American presidential history.
One reviewer said, "Into the Unknown contains some of the best adventure writing I've ever read." The book also offers fresh insights into the Kennedy White House, a wrenching coming of age tragedy, moving father-son conflict, daring escape from Nazi Germany, and inspiration to keep exercising -- plus appearances from figures such as James Joyce, Katharine Hepburn, Robert Kennedy, and of course, John F. Kennedy.
Dr. Kraus's White House medical records of President Kennedy are archived in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, along with Susan's book interview tapes.
