Buckhead (Atlanta) tastemaker Danielle Rollins, author of “Soirée: Entertaining with Style”

Buckhead tastemaker Danielle Rollins, author of “Soirée: Entertaining with Style” and recently named one of “The Salonniere’s” 100 best party hosts in America, survived a bold home-invasion attempt this weekend at her Buckhead house. “I’m obviously rather freaked out and tired, but I’m not going to be scared out of my own house,” she told the AJC newspaper.

Rollins was unpacking the night after Christmas, after a holiday break, when someone tried to enter her home.

She shared the following message on her Facebook account:

The private security guard I hired after my last break-in three weeks ago, and probably for the rest of my life now after this, chased at least two men through a neighbor’s yard. They dropped a backpack containing items including but not limited to guns, mace and ties. The (Atlanta) Police Department responded immediately, blocking and securing the area, with helicopter and canine patrol. This is not a way to live.
