Synopsis

This coming-of-age memoir recounts the author's unconventional childhood as the daughter of artistic, hard-drinking, bohemian parents. Set against the vibrant backdrops of 1950s New York, Cape Cod, and Mexico, the narrative explores the unique world of "upper bohemia." It captures the inherent tension between a child's wonder at new experiences and the underlying sadness of an unstable family life.
