About me: Trophies is the brand new novel by actress/screenwriter Heather Thomas, (you will probably remember her starring role as "Jody" on 80's television hit "The Fall Guy").
Heather's talent for writing shines through in her first novel, a story following the lives of a group of "trophies"--VERY wealthy and powerful second wives married to top movers and shakers in Hollywood. With their status and power they are often behind some of the biggest power deals in the business, with their influence extending into other arenas--political parties, religious leaders etc., to name just a few. All of them are especially active in the world of charitable organizations, steering some very worthy causes towards success. (The headline quote used is actual fact--women really do direct about 80% of all charitable giving)
Marion is top trophy, and currently has it all--admiration, beauty, wealth, intellect, a loving family and loyal friends...for the most part. All of the women in Marion's group are involved with high profile charity causes, calling upon their connections to make things happen, but when a tragic event occurs, and a misguided charity function exacerbates the situation, Marion finds out what it means to be an "outsider" in a world where being an insider is where it's mostly about.
