My memoir, The Missing Kennedy: Rosemary Kennedy and the Secret Bonds of Four Women is one of two books highlighted in PEOPLE’S cover story.
Knowing Rosemary was a blessing. She was a treasured member of our family, whom we saw often. When we visited her, or she us, Rosie greeted us with smiles and joy. She loved us and enjoyed the attention. Rosemary motivated her family to create Special Olympics, Best Buddies, and much legislation advocating equality and better living, schooling, and vocational opportunities for the intellectually challenged.
Thank you, Rosie, for your gentle grace and affection. It was a privilege to know you.
