Conditie: Goed

Rosemary Kennedy, younger sister of President John F. Kennedy, was lobotomized in 1941 at age 23. In 1959, she was put out of public view at a remote facility in rural Wisconsin, where, for more than twenty years, she remained unvisited by family and non-family alike, until 1962. Elizabeth Koehler-Pentacoff (Liz) and her parents were likely the first non-Kennedy family members to visit Rosemary following her lobotomy. Liz was niece to Rosemarys caretaker, Sister Paulus, a Catholic nun at St. Colleta, and she visited Rosemary on a regular basis for the next thirty-four years. Through their friendship, Liz discovered the person many had forgotten or never known. In 2015, ten years after Rosemarys death, Liz came forward with a fascinating book about the hidden daughter of Americas royal Kennedy family. The Missing Kennedy: Rosemary Kennedy and the Secret Bonds of Four Women is truly unique. It is an eyewitness account of Rosemarys post-lobotomy years, the first published by a non-family member, and its augmented by nearly 100 never-before-seen pictures of Rosemary after she was lobotomized. Liz can shed considerable light on so many questions, the four biggest being: Why did no one visit Rosemary for more than two decades?What quality of life did Rosemary lead after her lobotomy?What should have been the correct diagnosis of Rosemarys pre-lobotomy condition?And in what ways did immense good come from Rosemarys tragic life? This touching story of the intersection of two families will leave you with a unique portrait of the missing, but not forgotten, Kennedy.
