Life in Mobile Acres is not what it might first appear from behind
the uniform rows of trailers with their neatly organized grounds
and lovely southern trees. The journey into Mobile Acres begins
with the Pierce family relocating to the east coast and into the
mobile home village. Within the pages, we will meet the residents
of fifteen of the forty-eight lots, and the manager, Tony Attwood.
Within each resident's history, we will learn how each of these
individuals come to be in Mobile Acres, a gentle mobile home park
for single wide trailers, located just on the edge of the small
southeastern coastal town of Shallotte, NC. We meet a variety of
characters, building from one to another, relating in some way;
tagging to another. Unknown to all, a tragedy is developing in
their midst, in the form of a pedophile. This tragedy will
ultimately bring the residents of this small village of mobile
homes closer to one another. Life in Mobile Acres is like life in
any given community, people live their lives where they are, some
staying a short while, some settling permanently, some moving on.

The dictionary definition for a brat reads: an ill behaved child.
That is not the kind of brats we are. "Brats" is also the term for
children in general. Military brats are children of people in the
military services. Robin and her best friend Tawana are
twelve-years old and live in a trailer park. It is the beginning of
summer vacation and they are hoping that THIS will be an exciting
summer. Robin tells us about the happenings as we go with her
through their summer. The first thing that happens is meeting
Gloris, their brand new neighbor, and her brothers, six-year old
twins. Gloria is a budding psychic...so naturally, she is exciting
about meeting one of the trailer park residents who is also a
psychic. She finds the meeting holds more than she expects.
Everyday events can sometimes turn out quite unexpectedly.
