When the author was born, his mother did the unthinkable. She gave him a girl's name-Stacey. But Stacey's name was just the first hurdle he'd face in his uphill climb from birth to manhood. He also had to deal with an entitled older brother, the hodgepodge of different men his mother was involved with, and the nomadic lifestyle he was forced to endure for five years. And to top it all off, his mother couldn't cook a decent meal to save her life. Trailer Trash, With a Girl's Name is Stacey Roberts' lighthearted, often hilarious account of growing up in an unstable household during the 1980s. Full of humor, history, and hope, it follows Stacey from the hospital room where he was born to the Winnebago that carried him across the country, filling in the gaps with a wit and humor that anyone with a dysfunctional family can appreciate. So go ahead and start reading. Once you hop aboard the Winnebago with Stacey and his quirky family, you'll find that you're in for the ride or your life, where what you learn along the way is not only entertaining, but also enormously enriching.… (mehr)

Once I got into this book a little bit, it was actually a pretty funny book. The mother was crazy and no one I would want to mess with. The older (favorite) brother seemed lazy and would probably live with the mother for the rest of his life. It seemed the writer of the book and youngest brother was the only one with any sense. The poor kid, it's a wonder he grew up with any sense. Ha!

This book was definitely classic and full of laughs. I actually think the mother knew what she was doing. Especially when she would invite herself to all these dinners when Stacey thought he was going to have a good meal. I can't believe she would come and sabotage all the good food. Yeah, she wasn't exactly dumb.

Thanks to Sons of Joy for approving my request and to Net Galley for providing me with a free e-galley in exchange for an honest review. ( )

The way this author has turned his life into a parody in order to elicit laughs from readers, and probably in order to just be able to deal with it himself, is simply wonderful. From a mother whose cooking is atrocious most of the time, to a brother who is seemingly useless even though he's mom's favorite, to a series of loser men his mother lives with, the author can turn any situation into a laughable one. The only problem I had with this book is the redundancy of the details that frustrate the author, however it's that redundancy that adds to the overall humor, I suppose. I won this book via First Reads, and would like to see more stories from this author in the future. ( )

I love books that make me laugh out loud. If for some odd reason you decide to read this one and don't laugh, i have just one question for you....what is WRONG with you?!
Let's face it, every family has the favorite...and the not so favored kid in the bunch. Stacey Roberts knew his place , and dealt with it with THE most incredible sense of humor put on paper.
It's well-written, fast paced and you're done before you know it. His mother, his brother...oh good gawd save us, Roberts is a genius with his descriptions. Some are killer....like his mums fish tasting like "
the fetid breath of a street bum".
Go ahead and make your own day. Give this book a try. You'll be glad you did. ( )
