Eat, Scream, and be Merry: Meatballs and Mayhem in Mountain Brooke

Mangia! Eat!
That's the word most often heard from the big Italian family on Main Street that lives in the small town of Mountain Brooke, West Virginia. Nestled in the Appalachian Mountains, D'Luca daughter Nicole is sibling number seven in a food-infatuated family that obsesses, overreacts, and overeats on every occasion. Her hot-tempered and hot-pepper loving relatives all live within a stone's throw of each other and always seem to be in a mountainous state of confusion as they come to the rescue of an always-neurotic Nicole.
Follow d'eatin,' d'screamin,' d'crazy D'Luca family in their fast-paced adventure through a beautiful autumn as food and frivolity are the name of the game. Nicole is preparing for the family's annual Halloween bash in the hills, where the festive daytime party has the potential to turn into a Halloween nightmare. With the help of her close-knit family and friends, they eat, scream, and cuss their way out of this slapstick saga that gets more sarcastic with every passing page.
Big mouths with big hearts have big fun no matter how crazy their intertwined lives become in this slice-of-life satire where meatballs are always on the menu.
Enjoy old-fashioned stores, quirky owners, and quick-witted dialogue along with corny cliches, more puns than you can shake a schtick at, and plenty of peculiar personalities that poke fun of everyone in this heartwarming and often hilarious story.
Faster than Nicole can tell her sugar-crazed twins, "No more candy!" you'll be saying, "Madonna mia! I can't believe I read the whole thing!"
(And don't read it on an empty stomach; you'll be sorry)!
