Mary Rosenthal loves her a quiet, normal life. She dates nice, normal men...although she's yet to find one that she'd consider spending the rest of her life with. She has a meaningful satisfying job that she wouldn't trade in for anything. Even though the satisfaction level of her job is high, the financial level isn't. That less-than lucrative financial part of her job is why she finds herself doing something foreign to her nature...something highly less-than-normal. When her aging car dies, she finds herself competing in a contest to win a new one...competing by living in a truck. She and her opponent are in a radio sponsored battle of the sexes. The last one in the truck wins it. She's got a good supply of books, comfortable truck-clothes and a ton of determination.
