NEW YORK (AP) — Kerry Kennedy is engaged on a e-book about her late mom, Ethel Kennedy. “Ethel: Faith, Hope, Family, and an Extraordinary American Life” is scheduled to come back out within the fall of 2026.
“This intimate portrait of Ethel Skakel Kennedy offers a unique window into the life of a woman whose compassion, resilience, and dedication to justice have left an indelible mark on American history,” reads an announcement launched Tuesday by HarperOne, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers.
Kerry Kennedy, 65, is considered one of 11 youngsters born to Ethel Kennedy and Robert Kennedy, the lawyer basic, U.S. senator and presidential candidate who was assassinated in 1968. Ethel Kennedy, who died in 2024 at age 96, was an activist who based the Robert F. Kennedy Heart for Justice and Human Rights, now known as Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights. Kerry Kennedy serves as its president.
“Ethel” was co-written by Kerry Kennedy and creator Maryanne Vollers, who has labored on books by Hillary Rodham Clinton and Billie Jean King amongst others.
“Kerry Kennedy draws upon her personal experiences and deep admiration to tell the story of her mother’s life,” based on HarperOne. “From Ethel’s early years as a spirited young woman to her enduring influence as a matriarch of one of America’s most storied families, ‘Ethel’ is an exploration of courage, empathy, and the power of activism.”
