Leslie Kenton was the only child of Violet, a stunning Hitchcock blonde, and the legendary jazz great Stan Kenton. A true story of obsession, tragedy, and grace, "Love Affair" is a powerful memoir. At its heart is a complex, ultimately incestuous relationship between father and daughter. There have been memoirs about incest before, but "Love Affair" gives that hard-to-look-at subject an unexpectedly moving and elegant treatment. It's a story of one young life, of extreme passions, and of boundaries crossed.
