About this listen
We meet the people who most influenced Goodwin's early life: her mother, who taught her the joy of reading but whose debilitating illness left her housebound, and her father, who taught her the joy of baseball and to root for the Dodgers of Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Pee Wee Reese, Duke Snider, and Gil Hodges. Goodwin describes with eloquence how the Dodgers' departure from 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.

"Ms. Goodwin has...made familiar events seem fresh again, as if they were happening for the first time only a couple of days ago." (The New York Times)
"A poignant memoir...marvelous...Goodwin shifts gracefully between a child's recollection and an adult's overview." (San Francisco Chronicle Book Review)
