Most important, Goodwin describes with eloquence how the Dodgers' leaving Brooklyn in 1957, and the death of her mother soon after, marked both the end of an era and, for her, the end of childhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780684847955\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.44w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/19\/1998 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Doris Kearns Goodwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36639956861084,"sku":"9780684847955","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2fbbf596-b9ce-499f-b188-66192f7d43d9.jpg?v=1603851017","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/wait-till-next-year-a-memoir-9780684847955","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
