Product Description

""That Kennedy Girl"" tells the story of Kathleen Kennedy and her struggle to live her own life her own way, in spite of enormous pressures from her parents and the rest of the clan. Only her brother Jack, whom she loved profoundly, seemed to understand her. It was, perhaps, the saddest of all the Kennedy tragedies. Kathleen lost both her husband and her brother, Joe, in World War II, and shortly thereafter, at the age of 28, died herself in an airplane crash.

That Kennedy Girl
I really enjoy this book and would recommendation it to anyone is interested in the Kennedy family or a young woman trying to find herself in a very dominating family. I felt the book focused on Kathleen and her relationship with her family. I was glad the book did not drift off about John Kennedy's life other than his relationship with his sister. It also dealt with the Catholic Church and their beliefs about marrying outside the faith.

As I read the book I could hear the British accents of the characters in the book. The words and phases the author used made it easier for you to tell who was British and who was an American. I found the book easy reading and did not want to put it down until I finished it even though I knew the final out come.
