Almost glad to be home from work sick because I got to finish this book. I grew up in Kennedy country and did not know a lot about Eunice. Eileen McNamara wrote an excellent biography that kept Eunice squarely at the center the entire time.

This compelling biography sheds light on the significant societal contributions made by the fifth child of Joe and Rose Kennedy. With access to Eunice Kennedy‘s personal papers, family and friends, Eileen McNamara has written a intimate portrait of a woman who overcomes numerous personal obstacles to accomplish tremendous social change. https://lharvey250.tumblr.com/post/172413946109/eunice-the-kennedy-who-changed-t...

BlueStockingReviews @Cupofjo please let me know what you think. I really think you‘ll like it because it talks a lot about the beginning of special olympics! Thanks for all you do to help others with special needs! 7y
