Blurb, off back cover:
"When a man writes a novel that gets banned in Boston, then New York, and finally everywhere -- and when his wife is a desirable type like Sue, and he wants to keep her around -- the time comes when he has to go to work.

So they did. He was a mean man with a cheese soufflé -- and she made a marvelous chauffeur, easy on the curves and on the eyes too.

But that 'quiet home-loving family'! Pop was a cheesecake artist, having a nervous breakdown from overexposure to the female form divine -- the kids were just normally batty -- but Mom was the prize of the lot. Mom was censor, and she worked at it -- hard.

What happened when Mom read a copy of the cook's book -- shouldn't happen to a censor!"
