       Kennedy home front -- November 1941 -- Rosemary gone -- 
       Rosemary made the difference. 
520    The revelatory, poignant story of Rosemary Kennedy, the 
       eldest and eventually secreted-away Kennedy daughter, and 
       how her life transformed her family, its women especially,
       and an entire nation. 
520    Joe and Rose Kennedy's strikingly beautiful daughter 
       Rosemary attended exclusive schools, was presented as a 
       debutante to the Queen of England, and traveled the world 
       with her high-spirited sisters. 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.
