Titel: The Missing Kennedy Auteur: Elizabeth Koehler-Pentacoff ISBN: 9781610881753 Conditie: Used 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.
