Antoinette Bosco, born in Rome, New York, grew up in Albany where she attended Catholic schools and, graduating from the College of St. Rose, briefly taught in public high school at Cape Vincent, New York. She was already beginning to develop her creative writing skills at this time. After marrying Peter Bosco in 1948, she soon became the mother of six children and a seventh, an adopted foundling, also joined the family. Early on, Mrs. Bosco found herself busy not only with raising her large family but with free-lance writing and newspaper work.
