Abbey Curran lives by the motto "If you can dream it, you can do it." She was born with cerebral…
palsy, but early on she resolved to never let it limit her. Abbey made history when she became the first contestant with a disability to win a major beauty pageant. After earning the title of Miss Iowa, she went on to compete in Miss USA. Growing up on a hog farm in Illinois, Abbey competed in local pageants despite naysayers who told her not to. After realizing her own dream, she went on to help other disabled girls achieve their goals by starting Miss You Can Do It, a national nonprofit pageant for girls and women with challenges and special needs. In this uplifting memoir, Abbey tells a story of overcoming the odds, fulfilling her life's goals, and finding in herself the courage to compete, even as she continues to inspire the same spirit in others. For junior and senior high readers. 2015.

Rosemary est la fille de Joe Kennedy et la petite soeur du futur président John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Joe Kennedy est…
le patriarche d'une famille qui incarne le rêve américain. D'origine irlandaise il connaît une fulgurante ascension dans l'industrie et dans la finance. Obsédé par la réussite, la sienne et celle de sa famille, il est sans état d'âme pour ses enfants qu'il dédie à de grandes ambitions politiques. Née en 1918, Rosemary est différente des autres membres de la fratrie. Très vite, on lui décèle un léger retard mental associé plus tard à des troubles de l'humeur. Un peu rebelle, elle affectionne les fêtes, pratique la voile et le tennis. En 1939, elle obtient un diplôme d'enseignante. Mais sa santé mentale se dégrade. Elle séjourne régulièrement dans des établissements spécialisés. Son père craint que Rosemary soit à l'origine d'un éventuel scandale. Il décide alors d'employer les grands moyens et accepte que sa fille soit lobotomisée. L'opération tourne mal. Rosemary en sort lourdement handicapée, à la fois physiquement et mentalement. Elle est alors internée, cachée, effacée. Pendant longtemps, ses propres frères et soeurs ignorent ce qu'est devenue Rosemary. Seule l'attaque cérébrale de Joe en 1961 permet à la famille de la revoir. 2016.
