Milk Glass Moon, the third book in Adriana Trigiani's
bestselling Big Stone Gap series, continues the life story
of Ave Maria Mulligan MacChesney as she faces the challenges
and changes of motherhood with her trademark humor and
honesty. With twists as plentiful as those found on the
holler roads of southwest Virginia, this story takes turns
that will surprise and enthrall the reader.
Transporting us from Ave Maria's home in the Blue Ridge
Mountains to the Italian Alps, from New York City to the
Tuscan countryside, Milk Glass Moon is the story of a
shifting mother-daughter relationship, of a daughter's first
love and a mother's heartbreak, of an enduring marriage that
contains its own ongoing challenges, and of a community
faced with seismic change.
All of Trigiani's beloved characters are back: Jack Mac, Ave
Maria's true love, who is willing to gamble security for the
unknown; her best friend and confidant, bandleader Theodore
Tip-ton, who begins a new life in New York City; librarian
and sexpert Iva Lou Wade Makin, who faces a life-or-death
crisis. Meanwhile, surprises emerge in the blossoming of
crusty cashier Fleeta Mullins, the maturing of mountain girl
turned savvy businesswoman Pearl Grimes, and the return of
Pete Rutledge, the handsome stranger who turned Ave Maria's
world upside down in Big Cherry Holler.
In this rollicking hayride of upheaval and change, Ave Maria
is led to places she never dreamed she would go, and to
people who enter her life and rock its foundation. As Ave
Maria reaches into the past to find answers to the present,
readers will stay with her every step of the way, rooting
for the onetime town spinster who embraced love and made a
family. Milk Glass Moon is about the power of love and its
abiding truth, and captures Trigiani at her most lyrical and
heartfelt.
