Description
Doris Kearns Goodwin's Wait Till Next Year is a poignant memoir that explores her love for family and baseball in 1950s suburban New York. Set against the backdrop of post-war America, the book recounts her childhood experiences shaped by her mother's illness and her father's passion for the Dodgers. The author's vivid descriptions bring to life the people who influenced her early life, including her parents and their love for baseball. The story is also marked by significant events, such as the team's departure from Brooklyn in 1957 and her mother's subsequent passing. These events had a profound impact on Goodwin, marking the end of an era and the loss of childhood. This memoir offers a unique perspective on the intersection of family, sports, and history, providing a personal and relatable account of growing up in America during a pivotal time period.
