Are there any books out about Joan Kennedy? There’s so much out there about Jackie (who I’m honestly not fond of) and hardly anything about Joan from what I’ve seen.

In regards to her relationship with Ted, do you think they were forced to marry? Did Ted ever love her? Did he ever apologize for how he treated her?

Hi !

So sorry for the late reply.

Yes you can check out the available books in my book tag https://tedkennedyswife.tumblr.com/tagged/book

For your second question, I've made a post in 2022 that I think answers it for the most part: https://tedkennedyswife.tumblr.com/day/2022/05/03

I'm pretty sure he never apologized. I mean, it's Ted. He was the baby of the family and pretty much everyone excused his behavior or enabled him.

Thank you for your question!

hi lovely!! i literally am obsessed with ur blog, its so organized and well put together <33 i was scrolling through it and i found a post from 2014 where u were asking if anyone wanted your jackie/jfk pics and bobby/ethel pics. i feel like its silly to ask since it was so long ago 😭 but in the case that u do still have them, i was wondering if you were able to still email them out (or just anything else u still have)? im fairly new to the kennedy fandom and i would love to see them. thank you sm!! 💓

Hi there!

Omg thank you so much! 😭 I try to keep it organized as much as possible!

Unfortunately I don't have the pics anymore :( I changed my laptop since then. But I did post a lot of them on @thekennedyclan, which is one of my other blogs. So you can check it out if you'd like :)

And btw welcome to the fandom! :D Always great to get some new people. The fandom has changed so much over the years, so even I don't know a lot of people anymore. I'm here if you want to chat!

Such a strong, courageous lady. She will be greatly missed!
