Rosemary: The Hidden Kennedy Daughter
by Kate Clifford Larson
#UL9312
Paperback, 302 pages; 2016 (2015)
$15.95
Even before John and Jackie moved into the White House, the Kennedy
family enjoyed near-celebrity status in the United States. Patriarch Joe
Kennedy was a successful and savvy businessman who, along with his
wife, Rose, demanded perfection from all of his children in everything
they did. All of his children, that is, except Rosemary. The Kennedys’
third child and eldest daughter, Rosemary was born with intellectual
disabilities that her parents first sought to remedy and later to hide,
eventually with devastating results. This absorbing biography of the
beautiful, vivacious Rosemary offers fascinating insight into the
Kennedy history and family dynamics, as well as a shocking glimpse
into not-so-distant social and medical cultures
that shunned and mistreated those with disabilities
—
cultures Rosemary’s siblings Eunice, Jack, and Teddy one
day would fight to change. It’s a must-read.
