Wait Till Next Year by Doris Kearns GoodwinMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a lovely book. Goodwin spoke at the Mass Conference for Women a few years ago and I really appreciated how good a storyteller she is. This book is a memoir of her childhood growing up on Long Island in the 1950's and being a baseball fan. Baseball in New York in the 1950's brought neighbors together, and had every bit as much drama as today's most complex multi-season television drama arcs. Goodwin does an amazing job depicting her childhood, both as an individual experience as well as using her familiar skill of capturing an era.
