520    Wait Till Next Yearis the story of a young girl growing up
       in the suburbs of New York in the 1950s, when owning a 
       single-family home on a tree-lined street meant the 
       realization of dreams, when everyone knew everyone else on
       the block, and the children gathered in the streets to 
       play from sunup to sundown. The neighborhood was equally 
       divided among Dodger, Giant, and Yankee fans, and the 
       corner stores were the scenes of fierce and affectionate 
       rivalries. We meet the people who influenced Goodwin's 
       early life: her father, who emerged from a traumatic 
       childhood without a trace of self-pity or rancor and who 
       taught his daughter early on that she should say whatever 
       she thought and should bring her voice into any 
       conversation at any time; her mother, whose heart problems
       left her with the arteries of a seventy-year-old when she 
       was only in her thirties and whose love of books allowed 
       her to break the boundaries of the narrow world to which 
       she was confined by her chronic illness; her two older 
       sisters; her friends on the block; the local storekeepers;
       her school friends and teachers. This is also the story of
       a girlhood in which the great religious festivals of the 
       Catholic church and the seasonal imperatives of baseball 
       combined to produce a passionate love of history, ceremony,
       and ritual. It is the story of growing up in what seemed 
       on the surface a more innocent era until one recalls the 
       terror of polio, the paranoia of McCarthyism reflected 
       even in the children's games, the obsession with A-bomb 
       drills in school, and the ugly face of racial prejudice. 
       It was a time whose relative tranquillity contained the 
       seeds of the turbulent decade of the sixties.
