Widow Charlotte Figg's new home, Paradise Trailer Park, isn't exactly heaven on earth. Her ramshackle trailer needs repair, and her neighbors are harboring a multitude of secrets. Soon she discovers that her new friend, Suzy, is being abused by her husband. Can Charlotte save Suzy and deal with painful memories of her own difficult marriage? 400 pages, softcover from Abingdon.

Newly widowed Charlotte Figg purchases a double-wide trailer sight unseen and moves to the Paradise Trailer Park with her dog, Lucky. Unfortunately, neither the trailer nor Paradise are what Charlotte expected. Her trailer is a ramshackle old place in need of major repair, and the people of Paradise are harboring more secrets than Bayer has aspirin. Charlotte’s new friend Rose Tattoo learns that Charlotte played softball and convinces her to rally the women of Paradise into a team. Reluctant at first, Charlotte warms to the notion and is soon coaching the Paradise Angels. Meanwhile, Charlotte discovers that the manager of Paradise, Fergus Wrinkel, abuses his wife, Suzy. Charlotte sets out to find a way to save Suzy from Fergus and in the process comes to a difficult realization about her own painful marriage.
