<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The beloved author of "Big Stone Gap" returns with the continuing story of Ave Maria Mulligan and the rest of the Gap's unforgettable townsfolk. "A big-hearted novel that alternates dollops of comfort with moments of folksy charm and stark poignancy."--"Publishers Weekly."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Heartwarming . . . Everything that really matters is here: humor, romance, wisdom, and drama."--<i>The Dallas Morning News</i></b> <p/>Eight years have passed since Ave Maria Mulligan married Jack Mac, moved up into the hills, and dug in her roots even deeper. But Ave Maria soon discovers that the mountains cannot shelter her from the painful lessons of the heart. As her life reaches a crossroads, almost everybody in town has advice to offer--including the Bookmobile's self-appointed sexpert Iva Lou Wade, savvy pharmacy owner Pearl Grimes ("a very mature twenty-four"), crusty chain-smoking cashier Fleeta, and of course, the always-wise band director Theodore Tipton, now unofficially "out" and about. But when Ave Maria takes her daughter to Italy for the summer, her passion for a seductive stranger will test her marriage--and push her to choose the man who is truly her destiny. <p/>At once funny and deeply poignant, resonant with the power of love and forgiveness and the unexpected events that force us to stake a claim in our own lives, <i> Big Cherry Holler</i> is a wise, wonderful story to treasure.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for BIG STONE GAP<br>"Charming . . . Readers would do well to fall into the nearest easy chair and savor the story." <br>-- <i>USA Today<br></i><br>"Delightfully quirky . . . chock-full of engaging, oddball characters and unexpected plot twists, this Gap is meant to be crossed." <br>-- <i>People </i>(Book of the Week) <p/>"As comforting as a mug of chamomile tea on a rainy Sunday." <br>-- <i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>"A touching tale of a sleepy Southern town and a young woman on the brink of self-discovery and acceptance." <br>-- <i>Southern Living</i> <p/>"Ave Maria's spunky attitude, sardonic wit, and extravagant generosity compel you into her fan club . . . . Delightfully entertaining." <br>-- <i>Tampa Tribune</i> <p/>"A delightful tale of intimate community life [where] the characters are as real as the ones who live next door." <br>-- <i>Sunday Oklahoman</i> <p/>"In a sassy Southern voice, [Trigiani] creates honest, endearingly original characters." <br>-- Glamour<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>ADRIANA TRIGIANI grew up in Virginia and now lives in New York City with her husband.
