This tale in The Woebegones series follows the glamorous, divine, holy, sophisticated and backward character of Mary who believes that her purity can bring peace to the world. And though her dreams are righteous as she pursues the path as a pageant Queen, along her way her faith, purity, and indeed her character are tested to the brink. And it is when she plunges into the heart of darkness that her true power is found which causes the underworld of filth to take heed of the virgin who is so naturally gifted in being the force to be reckoned with that invites all unnecessary evils to face that are shocking, perverse and deeply disturbing.
