Kennedy Debutante (Maher) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
Maher’s assured debut, set against the backdrop of World War II, explores the life of JFK’s younger sister Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy.… [An] immersive, rich portrait of a complex young woman.
Publishers Weekly


The Catholic-Protestant conflict seems quaint compared to the civil and political unrest in today's world, and the romantic tension fizzles in some places, but this coming-of-age story will attract fans of the Kennedy dynasty. —Tina Panik, Avon Free P.L., CT
Library Journal


An engrossing tale of the importance of family, faith, and love in the life of one remarkable woman.
Booklist


Kick emerges as an immensely likable character, and… Maher shows the true cost of war, both for those fighting and those left behind. A romantic and heartbreaking look at an often forgotten American figure.
