Wait Till Next Year: A Memoir is Doris’ love letter to growing up in Brooklyn and her love for her family and baseball. The book talks about her mother who instilled in her a love of books and her father who instilled in her a love of baseball. That love was symbolized by the Brooklyn Dodgers of the 1950s with players like Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Pee Wee Reese, Duke Snider, and Gil Hodges. The story follows her youth until the Brooklyn Dodgers would move west, which was the end of an era in more ways than one.
Leadership: In Turbulent Times is Doris’ drawing upon the Presidents that she has studied most closely and showing how they recognized leadership qualities within themselves and were recognized as leaders by others. This book tells the story of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson, and how they confronted the contours and dilemmas of their times in their own unique ways.
