Mobile Acres Joyce Jacobs

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.
