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.
