Publisher's Synopsis
When Nora Brennan lands herself a position as nursery maid to a family in Brookline, Massachusetts, she little thinks it will place her at the heart of American history. In 1917, Joseph Kennedy is on his way to his first million. He has big plans, to found a dynasty and ensure that his baby son, Joe Junior, will be the first Catholic President of the United States. As nursemaid to all nine Kennedy children, Nora witnesses every moment, public and private: the disruption that World War II brings to the carefully-plotted Kennedy plan, tragedy abroad and the journey of two Kennedy daughters whose refusal to fit into the mould costs them dearly.
