Summary

Summary

Big Cherry Holler, the extraordinary sequel to Big Stone Gap, takes us back to the mountain life that enchanted us in Adriana Trigiani's bestselling debut novel. It's been eight years since the town pharmacist and longtime spinster Ave Maria Mulligan married coal miner Jack MacChesney. With her new found belief in love and its possibilities, Ave Maria makes a life for herself and her growing family, hoping that her fearless leap into commitment will make happiness stay. What she didn't count on was that fate, life, and the ghosts of the past would come to haunt her and, eventually, test the love she has for her husband. The mountain walls that have protected her all of her life cannot spare Ave Maria the life lessons she must learn.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“As skillfully as Ms. Trigiani makes us laugh, she makes us cry...This novel shares the strengths of Big Stone Gap. It’s dialogue is perfectly turned to the speech of Southwest Virginia. Its settings—a mountain town in Virginia and a mountain town in Italy—are portrayed accurately, with beautiful detail. Its pace never lags for a moment. Big Cherry Holler builds on these strengths and moves to a more involving emotional level.” Richmond Times-Dispatch
“A big-hearted novel that alternates dollops of comfort with moments of folksy charm and stark poignancy.” Publishers Weekly
“The story stands alone without the earlier novel as the author inexorably draws the listener into the life of Ava Maria and her community. This is engrossing throughout.” AudioFile
“Trigiani is a wonderful storyteller...Readers will enjoy Big Cherry Holler immensely.” USA Today
