Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin turns the lens toward her own life in a deeply personal story of marriage, memory, and one of the most transformative decades in American history.
Doris and her husband, Richard “Dick” Goodwin, shared forty-two years of marriage and an extraordinary connection to the political world of the 1960s. Dick worked closely with John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Robert F. Kennedy, while Doris began her career as a White House Fellow working with LBJ.
Late in their life together, the couple opened more than 300 boxes of letters, diaries, speeches, documents, and memorabilia Dick had saved for decades. What they uncovered became a personal time capsule, bringing them back to the civil rights movement, the Great Society, Vietnam, political triumphs and tragedies, and the people who shaped an unforgettable era.
Part history, part memoir, and part love story, An Unfinished Love Story is ultimately about two people looking back at the life they built together while reconsidering the history they witnessed firsthand.
