The first novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Idiot GirlsÆ Action-Adventure Club is a rollicking tale of small-town peculiarity, dark secrets, and one extraordinary beauty pageant. When her husband is offered a post at a small university, Maye is only too happy to pack up and leave the relentless Phoenix heat for the lush green quietude of Spaulding, Washington. While she loves the odd little town, there is one thing she didnÆt anticipate: just how heartbreaking it would be leaving her friends behind. And when youÆre a childless thirtysomething freelance writer who works at home, making new friends can be quite a challenge. After a series of false starts nearly gets her exiled from town, Maye decides that her last chance to connect with her new neighbors is to enter the annual Sewer Pipe Queen Pageant, a kooky but dead-serious local tradition open to contestants of all ages and genders. Aided by a deranged former pageant queen with one eyebrow, Maye doesnÆt just make a splash, she uncovers a sinister mystery that has haunted the town for decades. ô[Laurie Notaro] may be the funniest writer in this solar system.ö ûThe Miami Herald From the Trade Paperback edition. |
