Show synopsis
Set in the suburbs of New York, where neighborhoods were divided between Dodger, Giant and Yankee fans, this book recreates the postwar era when owning a home on a tree-lined street meant the realization of a dream and memories for a lifetime. It is the story of a seemingly more innocent time, yet one that saw the convergence of McCarthyism, A-Bomb drills and racism that came to Goodwin's hometown. Through it all, though, she could count on two constants--the Dodgers and her father.
