Kate Clifford Larson delivers an engrossing portrait of Rose and Joe Kennedy's tragic misunderstanding of their oldest daughter's capabilities, and of how her fate changed the Kennedy family forever. And yet it is Rosemary herself who shines from the pages of this profoundly revealing family story.
--Marya Hornbacher, author of Madness: A Bipolar Life
"A biography that chronicles her life with fresh details . . . What makes this story especially haunting are the might-have-beens . . . The first biographer to have access to all of Rosemary's known letters, replete with typos and lopsided sentence structure, Larson deploys excerpts in heart-rending fashion . . . 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

-- Kirkus Reviews
"[Larson] succeeds in providing a well-rounded portrait of a woman who, until now, has never been viewed in full," -- Boston Globe
"Larson's style is so vivid and powerful that we want to read it through spread finegrs like a jury looking at autopsy photos. I was wiped out when I finished the book." - National Review
