by Deborah Hand-Cutler, Daniel M. Kimmel

"Things are not always what they seem"Ben Porter has been running in all directions, searching for the perfect career path. So far, he’s found nothing but dead ends. He has high hopes for his new job as office manager for a non-profit anti-porn group. It’s headed by Franklin Abbott, an old-money Boston Brahman seeking redemption for his family’s past sins, and Margaret O’Leary, a widow from Southie who is indignant about almost everything. Ben’s excitement leads to dismay when he learns the organization is seriously in the red. Apparently, fighting slime no longer pays in Boston. With Ben’s help, this unlikely trio comes up with a scheme they hope will rekindle their bottom line by “fighting fire with fire.” It’s foolproof – unless they get caught.Revisit Boston in the 1980s in this slightly naughty-but-nice fable, in which things are not always what they seem. You never know what might get “Banned in Boston.”
