Millions of readers around the world have fallen in love
with the novels of the New York Times bestselling author
Adriana Trigiani. In Home to Big Stone Gap, she tells her
most powerful story yet, full of humor and heart, wisdom and
hope.
Nestled in the lush Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, the
town of Big Stone Gap has been home for Ave Maria Mulligan
Machesney and her family for generations. She’s been married
to her beloved Jack for nearly twenty years, raised one
child and buried another, and run a business that binds her
community together, all while holding her tight circle of
family and friends close.
But with her daughter, Etta, having flown the nest to
enchanting Italy, Ave Maria has reached a turning point.
When a friend’s postcard arrives with the message “It’s time
to live your life for you,” Ave Maria realizes that it’s
time to go in search of brand-new dreams. But before she can
put her foot on the path, her life is turned upside down.
Ave Maria agrees to helm the town musical, a hilarious
reunion of local talent past and present. A lifelong
friendship collapses when a mysterious stranger comes to
town and reveals a long-buried secret. An unexpected health
crisis threatens her family. An old heartthrob reappears,
challenging her marriage and offering a way out of her
troubles. An opportunistic coal company comes to town and
threatens to undermine the town’s way of life and the
mountain landscape Ave Maria has treasured since she was a
girl. Now she has no choice but to reinvent her world, her
life, and herself, whether she wants to or not.
Trigiani is at her best in this exquisite page-turner. Home
to Big Stone Gap is an emotional and unforgettable journey
that reminds us that you can go home again and again.
