Industry Reviews "In a season awash in X-rated memoirs, 'Wait Till Next Year' is an anomaly: a reminiscence that is suitable, in fact ideal, for a preadolescent readership of not just girls but boys, too....For self-esteem-building female role models, for baseball lore and inning-by-inning action and for a lively trip into the recent American past, you could hardly do better." New York Times Book Review - Ann Hulbert (10/26/1997)
"What emerges is a perfectly affable and often ever poignant memoir....There is plenty...to like here .Goodwin shifts gracefully between a child's recollections and an adult's overview....But there is too little baseball." San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Peter Delacorte (10/12/1997)
"This is a book in the grand tradition of girlhood memoirs, either fact or fiction, dating from Louisa May Alcott to Carson McCullers and Harper Lee." Washington Post Book World - Ron Fimrite (11/02/1997)
"Lively, tender, and...hilarious....[Goodwin's] memoir is uplifting evidence that the American dream still exists--not so much in the content of the dream as is the tireless, daunting dreaming." Schimel
