Rosemary was, in many ways, an enchanting, typical girl of her time. What are some of your favorite stories from Rosemary’s life? The actions and decisions made by them take on a different meaning when you look at them through Rosemary’s eyes. It is clear, however, that the very existence of Rosemary deeply and profoundly affected the lives of all the Kennedys. Their attempts to raise Rosemary to “fit in” with the rest of her more capable siblings is both tragic and inspiring. By placing her at the center of the narrative, I was able to see the family in a different light – particularly her parents, Rose and Joe. This is the first full length biography that puts Rosemary – an intellectually disabled child in a household of overachievers - at the core of that incredible family story. Rosemary’s life has always been a small side story to the larger drama of the Kennedy family in the scores of books written about them. Why another Kennedy book?
