Trailer Trash with a Girl's Name
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.
Trailer Trash with a Girl's Name: Father Figures
Being a boy with a girl's name was just the beginning... Stacey Roberts detailed the family’s five-year adventure in their unpredictable Winnebago in his previous novel. Now, his free-spirited mother, entitled older brother, criminal stepfather, and not-so-trusty old Winnebago are back for the next chapter in his story. Machetes at the breakfast table, shooting grapefruit for sport, and a dogged police detective get the story rolling, along with trailer park bullies and his mother’s daily menu from hell. Through his work, Roberts explores the relationships between parent and child and shows how he broke away to pursue a new life with the family he created. It was not easy, and Roberts faced unbearable loss through the years. Nevertheless, this candid, charming adventure shows how he cherished the journey.
No One Left But All of Us
Congressional term limits. The national debt. Money in politics. Our political system won't change until our citizens do. Until we become issue voters instead of partisan ones. And until we vote on the issues that truly matter to the nation. Our political system is more dysfunctional than ever. Deficits and debts are rising while the benefits of government policy go to those who can buy the laws they want. The daily news seethes with outrage. It makes us weary. It makes us wish we could turn our faces away from the ceaseless storm. It makes us want to give up. Our voices have been drowned out by partisan lockstep and unfettered bribery at the highest level. Our right of representation has been lost in the late age of hyper-partisanship. The America you learned about in school, the one of Valley Forge and Abraham Lincoln and the Arsenal of Democracy sounds like a fairy tale made up by our great-grandparents. It feels like our unity is gone. But we have a deal with Washington, Franklin, Hamilton, Jefferson, and every American who came before us and worked and sacrificed so that the noble experiment of government by the consent of the governed shall not perish from the earth. We owe an obligation to generations yet unborn. The America we were taught to love in grade school is still here. If we can’t count on our elected leaders, or those with the power of commerce and media to hold to our founding ideals, then there is no one left. No one but all of us.

No One Left But All of Us
Neither liberal nor conservative
"Our media and our political parties try to make everything about "us versus them". Here is a simple book that examines our right and our need to be our own selves. No need to have good guys and bad guys." - Charles K.
Easy to understand with a lot of passion
"Agree or disagree with this book's point of view, but it is still a first-rate piece of writing. It is easy to understand, and written with a lot of passion. If this book can get even one person to start moving in the direction of Country First, instead of Party First, it will be a success. It is very much worth reading." - Paul Lappen
Trailer Trash With a Girl's Name
LLOL!
"Stacey Roberts’ 'Trailer Trash, With a Girl’s Name' did something most books do not. It made me laugh out loud. Not ‘LOL’, as the kids say these days, on the screens and the keypads of their new-fangled technology. If anything, what I did while reading Roberts’ humour bio was ‘LLOL’. I *literally* laughed out loud. And, if you know me, you know that this is not something I do." - Jason McIntyre
Just when you thought you knew someone...
"As you read, you become part of his story, by his way of vividly describing his memories and making the reader feel as if they are part of whatever scene he was sharing. " - Robert W Kovacs
Trailer Trash With a Girl's Name: Father Figures
Don't call me "Limey!"
"Father Figures is surprisingly poignant. Along with the laughs, the book takes a look at what it is to be a father, a son, a brother, a husband—and it does so with humour, yes, but also with a relatable candour." - Jason McIntyre
Hilarious, yet poignant
"They say it takes a village to raise a child. It seems that all of the village idiots showed up to raise this author. You’ll wonder how he survived! " - Sandy Lingo
