Join us as we welcome author Judith Kirwan Kelley and her new memoir, Dorchester Girl. The book is full of heart, humor, and local color. 

Judith Kirwan Kelley provides a unique "lived" perspective on growing up in Dorchester, Massachusetts, during tumultuous socio-political times. Deeply impacted by the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the decade of the 1960s dramatically shaped the contexts of living in America. The changing family, as well as the social movements for Civil Rights, Women's Rights, Gay Rights, Rights of the Disabled, the sexual revolution, among other forms of cultural upheaval, all, played their part in the life of one Originally from Dorchester (OFD).
