A reader (MSL quote), USA
<2007-01-18 00:00>
This book brought me to a place I have never been, but havealways admired in the few generations that preceed me. Having lost my parents at a young age, Ms. Kearns-Goodwin recount of her own childhood in NY in the company of wonderment and baseball made me long for a parent to sit by, who would continue to tell me tales of the 40's and 50's, so that I could re-live what it was like to be an American then. I picked this book up at an airport bookstore, and never put it down until it was over, which was, in my opinion, much too soon. Thank you, Ms. Kearns-Goodwin, for writing about your life. Perhaps I could relate because my mother grew up in NYC under similar circumstances, or because I spent a great deal of my life attending grad school near Ms. Kearns-Goodwin's hometown of Rockville Center, but regardless of why I liked it these memoirs will remain in my library for years to come, and will, no doubt, be bringing tears to my eyes with each subseqent reading. I only hope my own children can appreciate it someday, as a substitute for the stories their own grandmother might have told them, about baseball, childhood, love of family and loss.
