Summary:
"Rosemary (Rosie) Kennedy was born in 1918, the first daughter of Rose Fitzgerald and Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. Three of her brothers would become famous: John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Ted Kennedy. Elizabeth Koehler was born in 1957, the first and only child of a struggling Wisconsin farm family. What, besides their religion, did these two very different Catholic women have in common? One person: Stella Koehler, a charismatic woman of the cloth who became
Sister
Paulus
Koehler after taking her vows.
Sister
Paulus
was the author's aunt. For thirty-five years--indeed much of her adult life--Sister
Paulus
was Rosie Kennedy's caregiver. And a caregiver, tragically, had become necessary after Rosie, a slow learner prone to emotional outbursts, underwent one of America's first lobotomies, an operation Joseph Kennedy was assured would normalize Rosie's life. He had doctors perform the prefontal lobotomy on his daughter without his wife's knowlege. The operation made Rosie's condition decidedly worse. After the procedure, Joe Kennedy sent Rosie to a Catholic-run home for the mentally disabled in Wisconsin. For the next two decades, she never saw her siblings, her parents, or any other relative"--Provided by publisher.
