And yet, Rosemary was intellectually disabled -- a secret fiercely guarded by her powerful and glamorous family. Rose Kennedy's diaries and correspondence, school and doctors' letters, and exclusive family interviews bring Rosemary alive as a girl adored but left far behind by her competitive siblings. Kate Larson reveals both the sensitive care Rose and Joe gave to Rosemary and then -- as the family's standing reached an apex -- the often desperate and duplicitous arrangements the Kennedys made to keep her away from home as she became increasingly intractable in her early twenties. Finally, Larson illuminates Joe's decision to have Rosemary lobotomized at age twenty-three, and the family's complicity in keeping the secret. 'Rosemary' delivers a moving coda: JFK visited Rosemary for the first time while campaigning in the Midwest. She had been living isolated in a Wisconsin institution for nearly twenty years. Only then did the siblings understand what had happened to Rosemary and bring her home for loving family visits. It was a reckoning that inspired them to direct attention to the plight of the disabled, transforming the lives of millions. 600 10 Kennedy, Rosemary,|d1918-2005. 600 12 Kennedy, Rosemary,|d1918-2005. 600 17 Kennedy, Rosemary,|d1918-2005.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01926528 600 32 Kennedy family. 650 0 Intellectual disability. 650 0 People with mental disabilities|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Frontal lobotomy|vCase studies. 650 7 FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS / Learning Disabilities.|2bisacsh 650 12 Intellectual Disability|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 22 Family Relations|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 22 History, 20th Century|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 22 Institutionalization|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 22 Persons with Mental Disabilities|zUnited States |vBiography. 650 22 Psychosurgery|zUnited States|vBiography. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft 914 MID.b24357315 914 FARM228928 994 92|bCKE
