In the story, “The Prairie Wife,” protagonist Kirsten becomes increasingly obsessed with a celebrity chef, Lucy Headrick, with whom she had a brief romance at camp as a teenager. Kirsten is convinced that, because Lucy married a man and adopted a homespun, southern-style persona for her career, she is a hypocrite living a lie. Just as Kirsten considers contacting a gossip website to tell the story of her affair with Lucy, she learns that Lucy has come out as bisexual on a daytime talk show. Kirsten realizes that what is really bothering her is the fact that she feels no one will ever desire her with the intensity that Lucy displayed at camp when they were young.
