Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)

For her legion of IDIOT GIRL fans, as well as readers looking for a female Christopher Moore, or a slightly bawdy, Gen X Fannie Flagg.

The first novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Idiot Girls' 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 didn't anticipate- just how heartbreaking it would be leaving her friends

behind. And when you're 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 doesn't just make a splash, she uncovers

a sinister mystery that has haunted the town for decades.
