Where does a single,
twentysomething girl go for adventure when she’s been raised among
Manhattan artists, drag queens, and intellectuals threatening to
move to Cuba? If that girl is Kyle York Spencer, an aspiring
newspaper reporter, she heads south, to North Carolina, to cut her
chops at the Raleigh News Observer.
Setting up shop in the Tar Heel state, Spencer finds herself
interviewing everyone from skeet-shooting cowboys and Christian
Rockers to the Human Carver--a serial killer--and the Smallest
Woman in the World. Embraced by a sassy group of husband-hunting
southern belles, she wonders whether sleeping with a Jesse Helms
supporter is really part of the grand plan or if Mark, her best
friend whose calls from LA provide a lifeline, is really the one.
Picking up some valuable wisdom along the way, she learns that
finding Mr. Right is far less important than surrounding yourself
with the right people–and that making a home ultimately involves
more than just deciding where to live.
