Description: | The first in the BIG STONE GAP series. The ultimate Small Town American novel, set in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. Big Stone Gap is a sleepy hamlet where kids get married and start families at eighteen, and stay for ever. So thirty-five-year old Ave Maria Mulligan is something of an oddity. A self-proclaimed spinster, as the local pharmacist she''s been keeping the townsfolk''s secrets for years. Now Ave Maria is about to discover a scandal in her own family''s past that will blow the lid right off her quiet, uneventful life. Soon she''s juggling two unexpected marriage proposals and conducting a no-holds-barred family feud. The thought of spending the rest of her life in Big Stone Gap is suddenly overwhelming... With an unforgettable cast of characters and a heroine with an extraordinary story to tell, all living in this quirky, remarkable town where even Elizabeth Taylor pays a visit, BIG STONE GAP is a wonderfully vibrant, unashamedly feel-good debut. |
