In a new biography co-written with acclaimed author Maryanne Vollers, Kerry Kennedy offers an intimate portrait of her mother, Ethel Skakel Kennedy, revealing the woman behind one of America’s most famous political families. ETHEL KENNEDY draws on Kerry’s personal memories, family recollections, and her mother’s private papers to trace Ethel’s remarkable life—from her Chicago roots to her romance with Robert F. Kennedy to raising 11 children amid the energy and chaos of Hyannis Port and Hickory Hill. The book also explores the profound losses that shaped her family, including Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1968, as well as Ethel’s enduring commitment to human rights and social justice. Known for her courage, curiosity, compassion, humor, and willingness to speak truth to power, Ethel Kennedy emerges as far more than the keeper of her husband’s legacy. Featuring 24 pages of color photographs, ETHEL KENNEDY is a deeply personal account of an extraordinary life—and an invitation to live bigger, bolder, and with purpose.
