When her husband Robert F. Kennedy was killed in 1968, Ethel Skakel Kennedy --- then pregnant with their eleventh child --- drew national attention for her grace, dignity, and resolute commitment to furthering his work in human rights, even in her grief. But as her daughter Kerry witnessed, Ethel was so much more than a dutiful wife and keeper of Robert's legacy of service. She was courageous, curious, compassionate, boisterous, and witty, always guided by faith and an instinct for speaking truth to power. Kerry delves into her own memories, her family's recollections, and her mother's private papers.
