By the end of the year, the kids become as much a part of Ohlson's family as his own flesh and blood.A fictional story based on true events, The Other Side of the Harbor showcases Ohlson's passion for education, yet brings to light the harsh realities of the Boston streets. Hilarious, inspiring, and heart-breaking, the stories of The Other Side of the Harbor encourage a new appreciation for the educational system and those striving to make it better.
