Fascinating and inspiring

The story of Bridget and her husband Patrick, the great grandparents of JFK is truly inspiring and shows how in spite of all odds we can reap the blessings of the labors of those who come before us.

Another JFK-Junkie Satisfied!

Just when I started thinking there wasn't anything more to add, this epically interesting addition joins the crowded dance floor! I loved it from start to finish.
"Nuff' Said!!😁⏳👏"

A fascinating slice of history

I'm rather ambivalent about the Kennedys in general but I really appreciated the research into this time period. So sad but enlightening.

Humble Beginnings of an American Dynasty

I was somewhat familiar with the first Kennedys background from a biography on John Jr. The plight of the Irish I learned from a History Channel documentary (when History used to do history). It is true that the more things change, the more they stay the same. When the Irish immigrants arrived in the US, they faced much of the same challenges as the immigrants of today. Bridget was fortunate not to fall prey to a number of situations and maladies that plagued the poor. With hard work and sacrifice, she forged a life for her and her children after the death of her husband at a young age. She didn’t know that she had begun an American dynasty. This book is an interesting account of the humble beginnings of an American version of royalty. Yet another wonderful history book that isn’t taught in many schools.

The book was just about the right pace and enough detail. It was an excellent source on the early Kennedy family. He must read for anybody that’s interested in the Kennedys.
