Judith A. Boggess invites you into a world most would rather keep hidden, capturing the wild chaos of childhood through the eyes of a young girl navigating life in a small, rugged town. In her memoir, Confessions of a Bar Brat, Boggess recounts growing up in Rosendale, NY, from the late 40s to the mid 50s. With a voice that reflects the unvarnished honesty of a child between seven and twelve, she presents her life in a way that is both hilarious and heartbreaking.
