Description

Rosemary Kennedy's story is one of tragedy and transformation. This biography, written by Kate Clifford Larson, sheds new light on the life of the eldest Kennedy daughter, who was secretly kept away from her family due to her intellectual disability. Larson's well-researched account reveals the often desperate measures taken by Rosemary's family to manage her condition, including the devastating decision to have her lobotomized at the age of 23. As Larson brings Rosemary's story to life, she also explores the profound impact her life had on her family, particularly the women, and the nation as a whole. The book chronicles the Kennedy siblings' journey towards understanding and making amends for their family's past mistakes, ultimately leading to significant changes in the lives of millions of people with developmental and mental disabilities. A poignant and thought-provoking read, this biography offers a valuable and long-overdue portrait of a woman who has never been viewed in full.
