Rachel Sievers has been a steady winner with us for the past four years or so. Trailer Parks and Sagebrush is one of her very best. Many writers, who know nothing about trailer parks, attempt to go at the people who live in them as though the residents were alien beings from another solar system.
Rachel knows better than that. She understands that money and our own experiences as children dictate how things go for us–in the knowing sense. Many well evolved minds have gone on to shine brightly without a college education or a home in the suburbs. But mainly, we are all human. Even the Man with the List has humanity, and so this tale unfolds.
I invite Rachel to share her thoughts on this story. And I will open with a question. After a few years are you still happy with it?

Rachel’s response:
This story is still near and dear to my heart. I wrote it for my grandmother the week after she died. She was a loving and uniquely interesting woman and I wanted to give her a happy ending.

Well conceived and well written. I really enjoyed this. And when I got to the end I discovered that I’d also really enjoyed this the first time around, though I had no memory of having read it previously! Just goes to show that these re-reruns are a great idea. bw mick
