And when you’re a childless thirty-something freelance writer who works athome, making new friends can be very a challenge.After a number of false-starts almost gets her exiled from town, Maye chooses that her last opportunity to relate genuinely to her new neighbors would be to enter the yearly Sewage Pipe Double Contest, a kooky but dead-severe nearby custom available to participants of ages and sexes.
