An Unfinished Love Story

In this book, Doris Kearns Goodwin artfully weaves together biography, memoir, and history to recount the emotional journey she and her husband, Richard (Dick) Goodwin, embarked upon in the last years of his life.

The book is based on over 300 boxes of letters, diaries, documents, and memorabilia that Dick had saved from his time in public service, working with John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Robert Kennedy.

The Goodwins' exploration of these archives reveals a personal time capsule of the 1960s, highlighting public and private moments of a decade marked by struggles for racial and economic justice and significant political events.
