Big Stone Gap


Through this novel Adriana Trigiani became my favorite modern author. She drew me in easily with her portrayal of the main character, Ave Maria Mulligan. Ave Maria is the town spinster of her small Virginia town and has just lost her mother when the novel opens up. She soon learns a secret her mother kept, which changes the way she looks at her past. I stumbled across this book a couple of years ago while browsing the shelves at a local Value Village. What a find!
