False Alarm
Heather Drohan
False Alarm is the story of Kate McCabe, a woman who tries to do it all. She runs the back office of a sports-management firm, a shop that makes Jerry McGuire look staid. She's nursing her second child; entertaining her own mother-and her mother's latest fiancee-for Christmas; and struggling to land an account on her own, that of a star jock who is attracted to her for all the right reasons. Meanwhile, Kate's husband is giving up the law to become a fireman. Surrounded by fools masquerading as villians-or is it the other way around-Kate would like to keep her life from turning into a farce. Or a tragedy. In the end, she is rescued by the most unlikely of figures, her husband the fireman.
Review: "False Alarm crackles with ambition, humor and insight. Drohan is to be commended for this strong debut."
-Barbara Lloyd McMichael, The Bookmonger
"It's clear that life, for Kate, is an ongoing challenge. It's just as clear that author Drohan is capable of presenting serious concerns in a manner that is as frenzied as it is hilarious."
-Book Review
