American Values

Lessons I Learned from My Family

De: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Narrado por: Stephen Graybill

With rich detail, compelling honesty, and a storyteller’s gift, RFK Jr. describes growing up Kennedy in a tumultuous time in history that eerily echoes the issues of nuclear confrontation, religion, race, and inequality that we confront today.

This powerful book combines the best aspects of memoir and political history. The third child of Attorney General Robert Kennedy and nephew of JFK takes us on a journey through his life, including watershed moments in the history of our nation.

These words come vividly to life with intimate stories of RFK Jr.’s own experiences, not just with historical events and the movers who shaped them, but also with his mother and father, his own struggles with addiction, and the ways he eventually made peace with both his Kennedy legacy and his own demons. The result is a book that is remarkably stirring and relevant, providing both insight and hope for all Americans at a time when they are needed like never before.

American Values

I loved this book! I enjoyed everything about it and learned a lit about both Kennedy boys:Jack and Bobby. And I was young when Jack was assassinated but I knew it was a very sad thing to happen, then Martin Luther King, then Bobby. The history in this book was so much better than history from school. Thank you very much for writing this book!

Fascinating From Start To Finish

Mr.Kennedy shares incredible insight into America’s one and only royal family. I learned not only interesting history, but also tools at how to process things in my every day, things that now through this book have a new light shed on them. An absolute must read. We should only be so blessed as to have Mr. Kennedy become our next president.

Fascinating Book

This book is invaluable and fascinating for anyone who grew up with JFK and RFK. It’s so interesting to hear from a family member with an inside view rather than hearing outside rumors and opinions. It’s clearly RFK Jr’s perspective and he is an extremely intelligent man who cares, and is carrying forward the Kennedy torches.

The Kennedys have always been great leaders, honest, compassionate, and filled with integrity.

RFK Jr. Is following in the foot steps of of his father and uncle at a time when we need it as much ever! I am looking forward to this next voting cycle, at 35 years old this is the first time in my life a political candidate has excited me and inspired my trust. Thanks Bobby!!!

the dedication and integrity of the Kennedy family

I loved the insight into the Kennedy family and the values taught as well as the old school charm displayed and taught

If you are a Kennedy fan this is a MUST!

I have to confess I am only halfway through this book but I ADORE IT! It is wonderful to hear from a family member. This narrator is new to me but I have heard Bobby Jr. speak in interviews when he was younger. Stephen Graybill almost makes me think the author is speaking. Should this be the only book you read about the Kennedy's no. If like me you are a huge fan. This is worth a credit. Thanks Bobby for the glimpse inside!

A wonderful and interesting account

I loved the book, with the mixture of tragedy delight and earthy humor. I enjoyed it!

A beautiful Memoir

It amazes me how many friendships and relationships this famous family has been able to cultivate.
