That's one of the stories from Greenberg's new book, "No Fleas On Us," which details the Swampscott resident's 16 years with the no-kill Marblehead Animal Shelter. The book will begin showing up in stores next month.Read this article in full with a

Middleton woman could qualify for state Democratic primary

MIDDLETON — Her U.S. Senate campaign has little cash and no paid staff, and she is virtually unknown to most would-be Massachusetts voters.
Yet Democrat Marisa DeFranco, an immigration attorney from Middleton, is on the verge of qualifying for the September primary ballot, denying the party's prohibitive favorite, Harvard Law School professor Elizabeth Warren, the ability to focus exclusively on Republican incumbent Scott Brown.
