In The Leadership Journey, Kearns Goodwin looks at Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson. How did each of them rise to become President of the United States? What did these four kids have individually—and have in common—that made them the ones to lead the country through some of its most turbulent times?
This book is recommended for 8-12 year old readers. This is a great holiday gift for all the young people on your holiday gift-giving list!

With An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s by Kearns Goodwin artfully weaves together biography, memoir, and history. She takes you along on the emotional journey she and her husband, Richard (Dick) Goodwin embarked upon in the last years of his life. The voyage of remembrance brought unexpected discoveries, forgiveness, and the renewal of old dreams, reviving the hope that the youth of today will carry forward this unfinished love story with America.
