Eileen: The Story Of Eileen Jackson As Told By Her Daughter
JERRY WILLIAMSON

EILEEN, published in association with the San Diego Historical Society, is both the story of San Diego’s premiere social scribe for more than a half century and also of the people she wrote about-the city’s movers and shakers during the remarkable decades stretching from the Depression almost to the Millenium.

A society in which nearly everybody knew everybody else gave way to bigger lists-newcomers that included academia, Nobel Prize-winning scientists, entrepreneurs, and the elite from around the world. Eileen Jackson wrote of them in her column, and managed to weave in more than just details of the party.

The story of Eileen is told by one who knew her best, her daughter, Jerry Williamson. The book offers intriguing insights into the life of a popular social columnist and her family, including her husband, the respected artist Everett Gee Jackson.

JERRY WILLIAMSON is the only child of Eileen and Everett Gee Jackson. This is her first book.
