Description

Years after settling into marriage and mountain life, Ave Maria Mulligan believes she has found security in Big Stone Gap—but the community’s familiar rhythms cannot protect her from the demands of love, family, and change. A summer journey to Italy opens the door to temptation and forces Ave Maria to confront difficult questions about marriage, desire, and the future she truly wants. Surrounded by the town’s colorful, candid, and often wonderfully meddlesome residents, she must navigate the painful lessons of the heart while discovering the strength to make her own choices. Funny, poignant, and rich with Appalachian warmth, this novel explores forgiveness, self-discovery, and the enduring ties of community.
