NEW YORK (AP) — Doris Kearns Goodwin's next book is a work of history that's also close to home.
The Pulitzer Prize winner's "An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s” is a reflection on her final years with her longtime husband, Richard Goodwin, the former White House speechwriter who died in 2018, and on the singular era they lived through.
I’ve been drawn to such turbulent times -- the Civil War, the Industrial Revolution, World War II," Goodwin said in a statement.
"This is the story of one of those times, of my husband and myself, and our generation shaped by the cataclysms of the 1960s.
We see what historic opportunities were seized, what chances were lost, what light those years cast upon our own fractured time.
