Rosemary: the Hidden Kennedy Daughter/240 pgs.

I knew very little about Rosemary Kennedy, other than that she was mentally challenged, prior to reading this book. Her impact on her family, and her ultimate impact on how the mentally handicapped were (and still are, to a certain extent) treated in our country, was eye opening. It was a hard read--especially the section about lobotomies in general, and Rosemary's, in particular. It was a worthwhile read, and one I recommend!
