520    Rosemary (Rosie) Kennedy was born in 1918, the first 
       daughter of a wealthy Bostonian couple who later would 
       become known as the patriarch and matriarch of America's 
       most famous and celebrated family. 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 really: Stella Koehler, a charismatic woman of 
       the cloth who became Sister Paulus Koehler after taking 
       her vows with the Sisters of the Third Order of St. 
       Francis of Assisi. Sister Paulus was Elizabeth's Wisconsin
       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. It did not. 
       Rosie's condition became decidedly worse. After the 
       procedure, Joe Kennedy sent Rosie to rural Wisconsin and 
       Saint Coletta, a Catholic-run home for the mentally 
       disabled. For the next two decades, she never saw her 
       siblings, her parents, or any other relative, the doctors 
       having issued stern instructions that even the occasional 
       family visit would be emotionally disruptive to Rosie. 
       Following Joseph Kennedy's stroke in 1961, the Kennedy 
       family, led by mother Rose and sister Eunice Kennedy 
       Shriver, resumed face to face contact with Rosie. It was 
       also about then that a young Elizabeth Koehler began 
       paying visits to Rosie. In this insightful and poignant 
       memoir, based in part on Sister Paulus' private notes and 
       augmented by nearly one-hundred never-before-seen photos, 
       Elizabeth Koehler-Pentacoff recalls the many happy and 
       memorable times spent with the "missing Kennedy." Based on
       independent research and interviews with the Shriver 
       family, she tries to come to grips with Joseph Kennedy's 
       well-intended decision to submit her eldest daughter to a 
       still experimental medical procedure, and his later 
       decision to keep Rosie almost entirely out of public view.
       She looks at the many parallels between Rosie's post-
       operative life, her own, and those of the two families. 
       And, most important, she traces how, entirely because of 
       Rosie, the Kennedy and Shriver families embarked on an 
       exceedingly consequential campaign advancing the cause of 
       the developmentally disabled―a campaign that continues to
       this day. Ten years after Rosie's death comes a highly 
       personal yet fitting testimonial to a sad but truly 
       meaningful and important life.
