"[Larson] succeeds in providing a well-rounded portrait of a woman who, until now, has never been viewed in full."--The Boston Globe "A biography that chronicles her life with fresh details . . . By making Rosemary the central character, [Larson] has produced a valuable account of a mental health tragedy and an influential family's belated efforts to make amends."--The New York Times Book Review Joe and Rose Kennedy's strikingly beautiful daughter Rosemary--JFK's sister--was intellectually disabled, a secret fiercely guarded by her powerful and glamorous family.
