Description
In this tender and vividly nostalgic memoir, a young girl comes of age in postwar suburban New York, where family, faith, neighborhood life, and baseball shape her understanding of the world. Through her passionate devotion to the Brooklyn Dodgers—and the joys, rivalries, and heartbreaks that accompany them—she forges a lasting bond with her father and discovers the power of storytelling. Blending humorous childhood anecdotes with reflections on social change, community, and the rituals of American life in the 1940s, ’50s, and ’60s, the memoir captures both a vanished era and the enduring emotional force of memory. Warm, perceptive, and richly observed, it is a heartfelt portrait of growing up and learning to keep hope alive.
