Northshire Presents Doris Kearns Goodwin

Doris Kearns Goodwin, one of America’s most beloved historians, will discuss her new book “An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s” with Joe Donahue of WAMC/Northeast Public Radio.

“An Unfinished Love Story” artfully weaves together biography, memoir, and history. Doris Kearns Goodwin takes you along on the emotional journey she and her husband, Richard (Dick) Goodwin embarked upon in the last years of his life, as the couple examined a tumultuous decade in American history through the lens of their own personal involvement in public service through those years.

Dick and Doris Goodwin were married for forty-two years and married to American history even longer. In his twenties, Dick was one of the brilliant young men of John F. Kennedy’s New Frontier. In his thirties he both named and helped design Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society and was a speechwriter and close advisor to Robert Kennedy. Doris Kearns was a twenty-four-year-old graduate student when selected as a White House Fellow. She worked directly for Lyndon Johnson and later assisted on his memoir.

Tickets for this event include a hardcover copy of “An Unfinished Love Story.” You will receive your book upon arrival at the event on June 2nd. If you miss the event you may present your event ticket to pick up your book at Northshire Bookstore in Saratoga Springs between June 3 and July 3.
