Our Mary Jo

This book introduces Mary Jo Kopechne to a world that has long remembered her, puzzled over her, and felt bereft for not ever really knowing her.  It is told here by the family to whom she belonged, and by whom she was loved.

"I watched Gwen and Joe, Mary Jo's parents, wait their entire lives for justice for their daughter.  They died without receiving it.  Perhaps it was because they were waiting for a justice based upon her death.  We seek justice of a different kind, a justice based upon her life.  And this kind of justice is not only possible; it is eagerly waiting to happen." ~William Nelson
