The Last Days Of Dogtown
Beginning in 1814 at a funeral, THE LAST DAYS OF DOGTOWN is a portrait of a downtrodden Massachusetts town over the course of a decade.

The focus of the story is the sad romance, thwarted by racism, between Judy Rhines, who is white, and Cornelius Finson, who is a free black man. Fittingly, the inhabitants of Dogtown include a population of dogs, some of whom contribute to the story.

Now, in Confessions of the Other Mother, Aizley has put together an exciting collection of personal stories by women like her partner who are creating new parenting roles, redefining motherhood, and reshaping our view of two-parent...
