Eunice Kennedy's early life was defined by being the "smack dabber." Smack-dab in the middle of a large and boisterous family. She had to scramble and scrape for any attention that might be up for grabs. Her early life also tuned her into the needs of the disabled and disadvantaged and plant the seeds of what will grow into her life's great legacy.

This is last episode of our first season and here we see Audrey in the final decades of her life. Her most fulfilling role as a UNICEF worker and finally with the love of her life.
