A Closer Look with Pam Atherton

Bestselling Kennedy biographer Barbara Leaming on "Kick" Kennedy


Listen Later

There's no denying, we are fascinated by the Kennedy clan. Perhaps you haven't heard much about "Kick" Kennedy though. NY Times bestselling author Barbara Leaming shares insights from her latest book Kick Kennedy and details the brief but stellar life of the favorite daughter of the Kennedy household.

Find out why it was necessary for Kick to leave the US to get out from under the shadow of the powerful male Kennedys, and to pursue her dreams in Great Britain. Plus, Barbara's descriptions of pre-war Britain in 1938 will surprise you, as she  documents the life of the aristocracy and the attitudes of young men and women at that time. Learn how Kick achieved her dreams (with no help from her parents), only to meet a tragic end. And her mother Rose wouldn't even attend her funeral. Hooked? There's much more information to be found in this riveting book!
