Synopsis:
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.
About the Author: Hollis Gillespie is a syndicated humor columnist and the author of two memoirs, "Bleachy-Haired Honky Bitch" and "Confessions of a Recovering Slut." She has been a "Writer's Digest ""Breakout Author of the Year" and a guest on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." She is also a television writer, NPR commentator, keynote speaker, and writing instructor. She lives in Atlanta, writing out of a trailer in her backyard.
