Kerry Kennedy presents "Ethel Kennedy: The Extraordinary Life and Bold Legacy
Most people think they know Ethel Kennedy. Kerry Kennedy is here to tell you the fuller story.
On October 13, HarperOne publishes Ethel Kennedy: The Extraordinary Life and Bold Legacy — and Kerry Kennedy, human rights lawyer, activist, and Ethel's daughter, joins us at City Winery for an evening that goes well beyond a book talk. Drawing on unpublished letters, personal archives, and the kind of detail only a daughter can summon, Kerry traces her mother's remarkable arc: from the Skakel family's Chicago tenements to the social center of the Kennedy Administration at Hickory Hill, from the Ambassador Hotel in 1968 to Ethel's final years, when she found a kind of peace that surprised everyone who thought they knew her.
The Ethel Kennedy of this book is fearless, funny, and deeply grounded in faith and justice. She kept a sea lion in the swimming pool. She brought her children to terrorize J. Edgar Hoover. She stood at the center of American public life for more than seventy years and never stopped speaking truth to power. Kerry's goal in writing it was simple: to introduce readers to the woman her mother actually was.
An intimate evening of conversation, wine, and history at City Winery. Books available through The Book Cellar.
