Heather Peters has an agenda. She wants it all and frankly
she doesn't care what she has to do to get it. Classroom
mom...check! Fashion diva....check! There really isn't much
that she can not do or at least, pay someone else to do.
In her warped sense of reality, Heather is convinced that
success in life is measured in possessions and
connections. As far as she's concerned, she is definitely
the queen of New Jersey. Keeping up with Jones's is child
play! What matters most is who is keeping up with Heather!
Having the crème de la crème house is high on Heather's
list of priorities. So when a development filled with
Mcmansions shows up on her radar, Heather goes in for the
kill. From cathedral ceilings to granite counter tops,
Heather finally has it all. Who cares that she doesn't
have a yard to speak of and the neighborhood has more
rules than Fort Knox! Heather is living high on the hog
and loving life.
When she accidentally has a run in with an endangered
rattlesnake, her oh-so-perfect life rapidly goes down the
tubes. Surely the state will understand that her life was
threatened! Of course it was in self-defense! What sane
human being would go around killing snakes? Not Heather!
She has Gucci purses and Chanel suits to buy! A girl has
her priorities! Unfortunately, the state of New Jersey
begs to differ. Knee deep in legal jargon and not a leg to
stand on, Heather is on her way to wearing a cute orange
jumpsuit for the rest of her life unless she can quickly
come up with a plan!
RATTLED is a hilarious satirical look at life in the New
Jersey suburbs. From the laugh out loud scenes to the
quirky characters, Debra Galant has absolutely nailed the
ultimate Jersey girl. Her writing style is smooth as silk
and her witty repartee makes the story flow. Her
character development truly makes the novel worth reading.
Funny, brutally honest, and captivating! RATTLED is a hard
book to put down!
Set in the fictional subdivision of "Galapagos Estates,"
Rattled is a very funny look at what happens when soccer
moms, animal rights activists, dishonest real estate
developers and, of course, rattlesnakes, get together and
fight for ascendancy in the rapidly developing New Jersey
suburbs. All Heather wants there is a nice house. Well, a
nice house and a nice piece of land. And of course a
basement gym, a master bath with radiant heat, Jacuzzi and
his-and-her toilets. She could make do without a media room
if she had to. After all, the pioneers hadn't had plasma TV,
and they'd survived. Heather is not your average suburban
housewife--or maybe she is. But when her fortuitous meeting
with an endangered species of rattlesnake sets this first
novel in motion, you may find yourself feeling sorry for the
snake. Sharp, biting, and absolutely entertaining, Rattled
is brilliant social satire.
