Fiction
STRINGS ATTACHED weaves a modern story around the timeless
classic, PINOCCHIO, and tells
the riveting account of an overwhelmed teenager adapting
to cataclysmic life changes - of someone who is pulled in
all directions by the agendas of others while rejecting
his own needs and desires. Seventeen year-old Jeremy
Tyler is about to enter a world he never dreamed of. When
his alcoholic mother is forced into rehab, Jeremy moves
from the slums to a cliff-top estate with his wealthy
relatives. Believing he's just landed in paradise, Jeremy
tries to fit in with the upper-crust community of Ballena
Beach. His gifted good looks and swimmer's physique,
combined with Aunt Katharine's money, grant him tentative
admission into the elite inner circle. Soon, Jeremy is
deep in privilege - but at what cost? His demanding
relatives begin to dictate his every move, and his desire
to "fit in" conflicts with his growing need for
authenticity. He dates an exotic socialite - the girl he
hopes will obliterate his growing attraction to men -
until two boys, one a calculating swim champ and the other
a rebellious ranching scion, execute their plans for the
besieged Jeremy. Then a phone call identifies his late
father's murderer, while suggesting Jeremy will be next,
and the web gets even more tangled at the posh beachside
locale. Pulled in every direction, Jeremy makes a wish to
become a `real man', then seeks guidance from the one
person he trusts - his family's butler, who is an
extraordinary man with a stunning secret identity.
