How do you face the future when the past won’t let you go?
Big Stone Gap is a sleepy village where kids get married and start families at eighteen, and stay for ever. So thirty-five-year old Ave Maria Mulligan is something of an oddity. A self-proclaimed spinster, as the local pharmacist she’s been keeping the townsfolk’s secrets for years.
Now Ave Maria is about to discover a scandal in her own family’s past that will blow the lid right off her quiet, uneventful life.
Soon she’s juggling two unexpected marriage proposals and conducting a no-holds-barred family feud. The thought of spending the rest of her life in Big Stone Gap is suddenly overwhelming . . .
The ultimate Small Town American novel from the bestselling author of The Shoemaker’s Wife, a Richard and Judy Book Club pick.
