Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, the tiny
town of Big Stone Gap is home to some of the most charming
eccentrics in the state.
Ave Maria Mulligan is the town's
self-proclaimed spinster, a thirty-five year old pharmacist
with a "mountain girl's body and a flat behind." She lives
an amiable life with good friends and lots of hobbies until
the fateful day in 1978 when she suddenly discovers that
she's not who she always thought she was. Before she can
blink, Ave's fielding marriage proposals, fighting off
greedy family members, organizing a celebration for visiting
celebrities, and planning the trip of a lifetime—a trip that
could change her view of the world and her own place in it
forever.
Brimming with humor and wise notions of small-town
life, Big Stone Gap is a gem of a book with a giant heart. . . .
