Trailer Trashed
by Hollis Gillispie
"Interesting sketches focus on the personal. Readers . . . will find a lot to enjoy."
– Publishers Weekly
"Can a book be bust-out hilarious and also break your heart? Hollis Gillespie's roller coaster memoir, Trailer Trashed, does just that. In it, she manages to remember not only herself, but each of us, as well."
– Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean and The Midnight Twins
"If you enjoy your humor twisted like a molly bolt, Gillespie is your gal. One of the few writers who require stretching warm-ups to avoid pulling something in a laughing seizure."
– Tim Dorsey, author of Atomic Lobster
"If Hollis Gillespie was a character in one of my books, I'm sure she'd be the feisty, headstrong best friend who says something really, really funny before getting whacked in the head with a machete."
– Karin Slaughter, author of Fractured
Once upon a time, Hollis Gillespie was ashamed about having a hard-drinking, trailer-salesman dad and a missile-making mom with broken dreams of being a beautician. That was then. This is now. Trailer Trashed is a hilarious and heartbreaking collection of essays on one broad theme – Hollis's relationships with her offbeat sisters, her precocious daughter, her bizarre friends, and the people they love. Brimming with irreverent, side-splitting observations on life that will wow fans of Augusten Burroughs and Sarah Vowell, Trailer Trashed follows an offbeat single mom through the raucous journey of her life, from hauling a safe to Nicaragua for her sister to selling a television series in Los Angeles for herself.
