Description

Who were you in high school? Were you a popular kid, a nerd, a jock or a prom queen? What most likely to” superlative did you receive, and did you go on to become the person you aspired to be?

For Jen Nash, being crowned the May Queen of Kingston High School was more of a jail sentence than a superlative. An honor bestowed upon one lucky girl at the annual May Day ceremony, the May Queen wears a white toga and is paraded through town in celebration of spring’s arrival. She is envied and worshipped by many. But for Jen Nash, May Day was a trauma from which she’s never recovered,and she disappeared from her hometown shortly thereafter.

The gossip mill in Kingston kicks into high gear when, 15 years later, she returns home under mysterious circumstances, seeming a husk of her former self. Everyone has a theory about where she’s been, of course. Was she one of Elliot Spitzer’s hookers? Was she in a cult? Was she married to a sheik in Dubai? Jen answers none of these questions
