Summary of James Patterson's The House of Kennedy

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The ship Patrick Kennedy boarded in 1849 was the SS Washington Irving, which transported millions of Irish fleeing the mid-nineteenth-century Great Hunger. The ship’s conditions were universally harrowing, and the monthlong crossing from Liverpool to Boston was no exception.

#2 The Kennedy family, who were originally nicknamed the shanty Irish, had finally become respectable lace curtain Irish. P. J. had become rich in the liquor business, and he gave out free drinks to those who could help him rise in the Democratic Party.

#3 The Kennedy family had a mantra: win at all costs. They were extremely thankful for the country that had embraced their family, and they felt a duty to give back to it.

#4 The family moves to Bronxville, a mansion at 294 Pondfield Road, in 1927. Joe is a multimillionaire by this point, and the family is extremely happy. But they are not allowed to complain or whine, as Joe’s voice would clamped down on them.
