In this evocative and affectionate memoir, Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith, the last surviving child of Joe and Rose Kennedy, offers an intimate and illuminating look at a time long ago when she and her siblings, guided by their parents, laughed and learned a great deal under one roof. Prompted by interesting tidbits in the newspaper, Rose and Joe Kennedy would pose questions to their nine children at the dinner table. "Where could Amelia Earhart have gone?" "How would you address this horrible drought?" "What would you do about the troop movements in Europe?" It was a nightly custom that helped shape the Kennedys into who they would become. Before Joe and Rose’s children emerged as leaders on the world stage, they were a loving circle of brothers and sisters who played football, swam, read, and pursued their interests. They were children inspired by parents who instilled in them a strong work ethic, deep love of country, and intense appreciation for the sacrifices their ancestors made to come to America. "No whining in this house!" was their father’s regular refrain. It was his way of reminding them not to complain, to be grateful for what they had, and to give back. In her remarkable memoir, Kennedy Smith—the last surviving sibling—revisits this singular time in their lives. Filled with fascinating anecdotes and vignettes, and illustrated with dozens of family pictures, The Nine of Us vividly depicts this large, close-knit family during a different time in American history. Kennedy Smith offers indelible, elegantly rendered portraits of her larger-than-life siblings and her parents. "They knew how to cure our hurts, bind our wounds, listen to our woes, and help us enjoy life," she writes. "We were lucky children indeed."

This is a great book that gives a unique insight into the everyday life of the legendary Kennedy family. The development of the plot is written with great skill and I was happy to learn what a great author Jean is! I hadn’t expected the book to give such a intimate insight into the family where Camelot began but was very pleased to find out that Jean left little out of their childhood. This highly detailed narrative reveals why all of Joe and Rose Kennedys’ children turned out to be highly successful in anything they tried their hand at! I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know where the Kennedy clans enormoes drive and success steamed from; it all began when they were very young children. I would also suggest parents to read this book as somewhat of a guide to successful parenting. Joe Kennedy should be a great inspiration to us all in the way he raised his children, always available and ever so affectionate toward his kids while at the same time being a figure of authority guiding them to the right paths in life. I believe that his way of raising his children to view their family as a unit was the reason why the children remained close and without fall outs all through their life. All his success as a businessman and in politics fades in comparison to his success in raising his children to become brilliant role models and sources of inspiration to people still today. With all sad tales of family feuds and siblings falling out, the way Joe raised his kids should serve as a leading example of how to bring up your family in a way that, should you follow his brilliant parenting techniques, will assure that you will remain close all throughout life and most importantly; your children will always have time for one another and be able to lean on each other through the bad times and enjoy each other from their childhood until their late years in life. I would like to thank Jean Kennedy Smith for this intimate glimpse into your very personal memories of early life! The Nine of Us: Growing Up Kennedy.

I've always thought that reading autobiographies or memoirs by people with first-hand knowledge of the subject is better than trusting professional biographers, but this account of the Kennedy family by Jean Kennedy Smith reads more like fiction - like a fairytale! - than fact. I realise that Jean was the last living Kennedy sibling - she died this year - when she was writing about growing up with her parents and brothers and sisters, and would naturally choose the good memories over the bad (although the last chapter reads like an obituary column), but come on! Joe and Rose never argued and Rose was a devoted mother? We all know about her filing card system, but even Jean acknowledges the team of Irish nannies who 'took charge of diaper changing, bottle washing, pram pushing, ear scrubbing and meal planning'. And Jack famously complained that his mother never held him as a child. The truth will out, however, and Jean also paints a picture of a mother who made siblings correct each other's behaviour ('Bobby, look at Jean. Perhaps you could remind her very nicely that lipstick does not go all over the face') and a father who ordered his own favourite meal - roast beef and Yorkshires - for the whole family on the rare occasion they went out for a meal. I'm sure the Kennedys loved each other, but we all know far too much about them now for this cute little collection of anecdotes to tell us anything new. Also, there isn't enough about Jack! ( ) The Nine of Us: Growing up Kennedy Jean Kennedy Smith. My Rating ▫. Publisher Harper Collins Publish Date October 25, 2016. I wish Jean Kennedy Smith had written this book 20 years ago, when I was raising my son. Nine of Us: Growing up Kennedy is like nothing I've read about the Kennedy family before. And yet exactly like I would've expected. Each chapter contains immensely valuable parenting words of wisdom from Joe or Rose Kennedy. This just could be the best guide for raising smart, thankful and devoted kids! Jane Kennedy Smith grew up thinking her childhood was unexceptional. Her brothers and sisters were all her playmates. They played, and laughed and argued over the last piece of chocolate cake. She had no clue they would turn out the way they did. The family was distinctive perhaps because they were so large, and their parents influence was profound but subtle. As grandchildren of Irish immigrants, Rose and Joe wanted to make sure their children appreciated how much they had to be thankful for. They wanted to make them understand that they had an important obligation to give back. And that the gift of being in this world is a responsibility. The nine children were compelled to do their best and complaining was strictly forbidden. Joe's rule of "No whining in this house" are words that we could all raise our families on today. The book gives us and intimate look into each of the nine siblings. Smith details what each were like, what they liked to do, their special interests and even the times they got into trouble. Can you imagine Teddy sitting in his mom's closet surrounded by her dresses, shoes and hats, for "time out" for breaking a window. Or what about Bobby in a typing class. How fun it sounds to have a grown-up as a Kennedy, with the dinner table as the family hub and discussions of current events as the main course. How fun to have played tennis with Eunice or sailed with Jack or rescued animals with Bobby. Growing up Kennedy is a delightful look into the young lives of the family who, each in their own way, has had a profound impact on this country. The values Rose and Joe instilled and the often unique way in which they instilled them, continues to be relevant. A great read for anyone raising a family today! ( )
