They were the most prominent American family of the twentieth century. The daughter they secreted away made all the difference. 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.  Major new sources — 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 profoundly 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.

Oddly enough this book is more about Joe and Rose than about Rosemary. I'm assuming that's the case because so much time and energy was spent trying to change her, hide her, "fix" her, and keep her hidden so she wouldn't be an embarrassment to the family. Before I read this book I only knew the highlights of the Kennedys. Now that I've read it, I still don't know much about Rosemary, but I now know that Joe and Rose would go to any lengths to keep the family image in tact. Unbelievably heartbreaking. Rosemary seemed to suffer the most (because she was seen as the "least") but all the Kennedy children seemed to have been affected by their parents iron grip and micromanagement. Maybe one day Rosemary will have a voice and we'll get to hear her story, but I doubt it. Seems that she never really had a voice. The three stars for this book is because there were way too many details about superfluous things that I suspect were put in there to maximize word count. For example, the discussion of Rose attending college, which led to descriptions about college in the early 20th century. Interesting info, but it takes away from the narrative of Rosemary, who seemed to be an afterthought as the stories of Joe and Rose were told. Also, I flat out skipped the description of the lobotomy. Not necessary, in my opinion. It's clear from the results of the surgery that it was horrific and barbaric. Overall, a disappointing book if you're looking to find out any real, new information about Rosemary, but if you're interested in the parents, this book could be for you.
