OK, here is where I shamelessly plug my daughter's book. Please forgive, but she can't afford advertising. It probably isn't for a man, but the title is "Chasing the Crown," by Kail Harbick, purchase at amazon.com
It isn't in ebook form yet.
It is a serious look into the Pageant world, behind the scenes. Very clean read, good for teens through my dear mother's age of 91. Makes a nice Christmas gift.
The author, my daughter, was a pageant director for married women. (Throughout the book a person will see what all it takes to enter a pageant, and lots of tips and helps along the way, written into the story.) I think any lady would find it an enjoyable read.
