Making pit stops along the wayto ponder everything from the satanic origins of the Internet to her disturbing discovery that menare the new women, Cindy ultimately finds inspiration in her CD collection and renewed hope viaa love letter from an Indian gas station attendant.Cindy Guidry is a self-aware woman with a razor-sharp wit, and in The Last Single Woman inAmerica she takes us on an outrageously funny romp through her own unique mind,uncovering universal truths along the way.
