No Ordinary Time

My book group is finally reading something very good: No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt and the Home Front in World War II by Doris Kearns Goodwin. As a 10-16 year old during WWII, I knew the names and some of the events, but had no real awareness or understanding of what it all meant. Reading this book is giving me a look at the things outside my immediate world that really shaped my childhood, perhaps my entire life.
