Founded by fundamentalist Puritans and later guardedly run by old-money, so-called 'Brahmins', Boston was always considered a very staid, buttoned-down city. But now, the large influx of Irish immigrants discovered the ballot box, and under the banner of the Democratic Party, began to shake old 'Beantown' to its core by winning elections in this staunchly Republican city. Appalled, the well-established Brahmins were not about to give up their position of power without a fight, however, and the era of rough and tumble Boston politics had begun.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eBroken in Boston\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of Hope Davis, a woman who possessed extraordinary beauty and was blessed with two children, yet was unhappy with herself and the direction her life was heading.
