Winner of the Sarton Memoir Award. “[A] marvel of storytelling, layered and rich . . . an account of one family’s grief, love, and resilience” (Maine Sunday Telegram). Mexico, Maine, 1963: The Wood family is much like its close, Catholic, immigrant neighbors, all dependent on the fathers’ wages from the Oxford Paper Company. But when Dad suddenly dies on his way to work, Mum and the four deeply connected Wood girls are set adrift. When We Were the Kennedys is the story of how a family, a town, and then a nation mourns and finds the strength to move on. “Intimate but expansive . . . A tender memoir of a very different time.”—O, The Oprah Magazine “Every few years, a memoir comes along that revitalizes the form . . . With generous, precise, and unsentimental prose, Monica Wood brilliantly achieves this . . . When We Were the Kennedys is a deeply moving gem!”—Andre Dubus III, #1 New York Times bestselling author “On her own terms, wry and empathetic, Wood locates the melodies in the aftershock of sudden loss.”—The Boston Globe “This is an extraordinarily moving book, so carefully and artfully realized, about loss and life and love. Monica Wood displays all her superb novelistic skills in this breathtaking, evocative new memoir. Wow.”—Ken Burns, filmmaker “A gorgeous, gripping memoir. I don’t know that I’ve ever pulled so hard for a family. When We Were the Kennedys captures a shimmering mill-town world on the edge of oblivion, in a voice that brims with hope, feeling, and wonder. The book humbles and soars.”—Mike Paterniti, New York Times bestselling author

Disclaimer: I grew up in Maine, my uncle and several of my very good friends work in paper mills, and I have recently discovered the beauty which is Monica Wood's writing. (I just finished One-In-A-Million Boy.) Odds were good I would enjoy this memoir. And I did.It was touching, poignant, and so well written. I felt very similar to A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, mostly because of the timeframe, excellent writing and that it was a coming-of-age story about a young girl. But a Maine mill town and Brooklyn are two very different creatures.I can't do Wood's book justice without quoting directly:"The mill. The rumbling, hard-breathing monster that made steam and noise and grit and stench and dreams and livelihoods -- and paper."(Regarding her sister) "This is how Betty dances: Like a phone pole. A fence picket. A frozen hen. Hopeless."(Her uncle- a beloved priest) "He has this way of sounding simultaneously chummy and formal, making a child the delectable center of something rare and memorable."(And ultimately, her stance on books) "I'd always loved books for their reassuring heft, for their promise of new words, for their air of mystery, for the characters who lived in them, for the sublime pleasure of disappearing."This memoir was indeed a sublime pleasure.
